Suitable For Which Investors?
When you invest for seven years or more, you can expect gains that comfortably beat the inflation rate as well as returns from fixed income options.
This is a fund that invests in smaller companies. Compared to those that invest in larger companies, such funds tend to fall more when stock prices fall. So while you can expect higher returns in the long term, there will be more severe ups and downs along the way.
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 from a diversified portfolio of predominantly equity & equity related instruments of small cap companies.
Fund Manager:
1) Mayank Hyanki
2) Shreyash Devalkar
Education: Mr. Devalkar is a B.Tech from UDCT Mumbai and PGDM (Management) from JBIMS Mumbai University
Experience: Prior to joining Axis Mutual Fund he has worked with BNP Paribas Mutual Fund as a Fund Manager, IDFC Capital, JP Morgan Services India and Calyon Bank.
