Suitable For Which Investors?
When you invest for five years or more, you can expect gains that comfortably beat the inflation rate as well as returns from fixed income options. But be prepared for ups and downs in your investment value along the way.
This is a flexi-cap fund where the fund management team has complete freedom to invest in companies of different sizes, depending on where it expects maximum gains. This versatility makes flexi-cap funds most suitable for equity fund investors, as the job of stock selection is left completely to the fund manager, which is the very idea of investing in a mutual fund.
Like for all equity funds, you must invest only through the SIP route
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in concentrated portfolio of equity & equity related instruments of upto 25 companies, primarily in companies among the top 200 in terms of market capitalisation.
