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 long term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in opportunities presented by Special Situations such as Company Specific Event/Developments, Corporate Restructuring, Government Policy change and/or Regulatory changes, Technology led Disruption/ Innovation or companies going through temporary but unique challenges and other similar instances.
