Suitable For Which Investors?
Such thematic funds are avoidable for most investors because:
• They have a narrow investment focus
• Instead, diversified equity funds which invest across sectors/themes 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 generate capital appreciation primarily from a portfolio of Sectoral/ Thematic schemes accessed through the diversified investment styles of underlying schemes.
