Nippon India Focused Equity Fund
NAV Growth: Rs 87.0729
NAV IDCW: Rs 38.8269
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 fund seeks to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of equity & equity related securities up to 30 companies across market capitalization.
