Suitable For Which Investors?
Nobody should invest in Banking funds in our opinion, because:
• They have a narrow focus on only financial services companies
• Instead, diversified equity funds which invest across sectors are better
If you still choose to invest:
1. Invest only through SIP
2. Have a 7+ year investment horizon
3. Be prepared to withstand interim sharp declines in investment value
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity related instruments of companies engaged in banking and financial services.
