The liquid funds and debt funds have started giving negative returns over the last couple of weeks after Reserve Bank of India intervened and tightened the liquidity, personal finance expert, Feroze Azeez, Anand Rathi Private Wealth Management said. In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Feroze Azeez, Anand Rathi Private Wealth Management shared his views on how one should approach gold and mutual fund from a long-term investment perspective. Should you invest in fixed maturity plans now? Below is the verbatim transcript of Azeez's interview with CNBC-TV18. Caller Q: I have been investing in mutual funds with the aim of earning decent returns. I have invested about Rs 5 lakh with a two years horizon. However the current scenario is bad and the liquid debt fund is giving negative returns. What should I do now?

I do not think it is going to be a very long phenomena, it is going to be short-lived. Therefore, you should not be too worried as long as your timeframe is two years.

So, can almost have a post tax return of about 9 percent, which is as good as, for example like 13 percent fixed deposit (FD) if you are in the highest slab, almost like 11.8-11.7 per

Mining is still the most important sector in South Africa's economy Most of the 80,000 miners across the sector who started striking earlier this week had already accepted an 8% pay offer and returned to work. But workers at Harmony Gold's mines in the central Free State and Northern Cape provinces were holding out for a better deal. The miners' union had been demanding a 60% rise. Employers had offered 6% - the same as the inflation rate. Harmony Gold said its employees had now accepted the pay settlement, the AFP news agency reported. Some electricity workers have also gone on an unofficial strike, leading to severe power cuts in the biggest city, Johannesburg. An extra generator has been installed near the home of former President Nelson Mandela, who arrived there on Sunday after almost three months in hospital. He remains in a critical condition.
