Suitable For Which Investors?
This is a fund that invests mainly in shares of companies engaged in infrastructure-related activities or are expected to benefit from them.
We believe that investors should avoid funds that have a narrowly defined investment mandate such as this one. Instead, they should invest in flexi-cap funds which provide complete freedom to the fund management team to invest in companies from which it expects maximum gains.
But if you do invest, you must do so only through the SIP route.
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme aims to generate capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged either directly or indirectly in infrastructure related activities. Infrastructure related activities include development, operations, management and maintenance of various infrastructures such as transportation, energy, resources & other infrastructure.
