Suitable For Which Investors?
When you invest for seven years or more, you can expect gains that comfortably beat the inflation rate as well as returns from fixed income options.
This is a fund that invests in smaller companies. Compared to those that invest in larger companies, such funds tend to fall more when stock prices fall. So while you can expect higher returns in the long term, there will be more severe ups and downs along the way.
Like for all equity funds, you must invest only through the SIP route.
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to generate capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related securities by investing predominantly in small cap companies.
Fund Manager:
1) Harish Bihani

Experience: Prior to joining Kotak Mutual Fund, he has worked with ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund, Kotak Instituitional Equities, CIMB Securities, RBS Equities India Pvt. Ltd., Indiabulls Securities Ltd. and Reliance Equities International Pvt. Ltd.
