Mumbai: Birla Sun Life AMC (www.birlasunlifeamc.com) has announced a weekly dividend under the dividend reinvestment option in Birla Cash Plus. It has declared a weekly dividend of Rs 0.014 per unit net of the dividend tax paid by the fund.

The record date for the dividend is 1 February 2002. All investors on record in Plan A (dividend reinvestment) as on record will be eligible for the dividend. The dividend is tax-free in the hands of the investor.

Launched in June 1997, Birla Cash Plus is one of Indias first liquid schemes. The scheme presents an ideal "parking" opportunity for investors looking to deploy their short-term surpluses and offers redemptions in 24 hours. The scheme will be available on an ex-dividend basis from 4 February 2002.

Birla MNC Fund

Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company, meanwhile, has declared a tax-free dividend of 40 per cent in its Birla MNC Fund. The fund had earlier declared a dividend of 25 per cent that was paid in February 2000. All investors on record in the dividend plan as on close of the business day of 22 February 2002 will be eligible for the dividend.

Traditionally, multinational companies have been known for their vision, quality of management and growth, irrespective of the nature of business. These qualities of MNCs help the scheme to pursue the objective of consistent growth for the benefit of investors.

Birla MNC Fund is a specialty fund, which invests in stocks of multinational companies. Investments being of a very strong pedigree, this is an ideal option for conservative investors to invest in successful operations of global giants, a company press release said.

The current NAV as on 30 January 2002 of the scheme in the dividend plan is Rs 25.81 per unit. There will be an exit load of 0.10 per cent for all investments received between 1 and 22 February 2002, for redemptions within 30 days from the date of investment.

Today, Birla Mutual Fund has emerged as one of the leading mutual funds in India with over Rs 4,200 crore of assets under management. It offers a range of investment schemes designed to cater to every need of the investor.

The philosophy of Birla Sun Life Asset Management is to generate consistent returns through superior yield on its investments at relatively moderate levels of risk through a diversified research-based investment approach.
