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 of fixed income options. But be prepared for ups and downs in your investment value along the way.
This is a fund that invests in big companies. Compared to those that invest in smaller companies, such funds tend to fall less when stock prices fall. Therefore, they are more suited to conservative equity investors.
Like for all equity funds, you must invest only through the SIP route.
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation by actively managing a portfolio of equity and equity related securities. The Scheme will invest in a range of companies, with a bias towards large cap companies.
