Suitable For Which Investors?
Such thematic funds are avoidable for most investors because:
1. They have a narrow investment focus
2. Instead, diversified equity funds which invest across sectors/themes are better
If you still choose to invest:
• Invest only through SIP
• Have a 7+ year investment horizon
• Be prepared to withstand interim sharp declines in investment value
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme aims to generate capital appreciation by capitalising on the long-term growth opportunities in the India economy. The scheme will invest in a broad range of stocks without any limitation either qualitative or quantitative and across market capitalization.
