π Sahifund Interpretation of the Benchmark
BSE 500 TRI
The BSE 500 TRI represents a broad-market index covering nearly all major sectors across large, mid and small caps.
Benchmark Behaviour Snapshot
β’ 5-Year CAGR around 16.4% reflecting strong Indian equity growth
β’ Moderate risk profile vs small-cap indices
β’ Top 10 stocks weight only ~33%, ensuring diversification
β’ Captures full market cycle β suitable benchmark for flexi-cap funds
Sahifund Insight:
BSE 500 TRI allows fund managers flexibility to generate alpha through sector allocation rather than index concentration.
π§ Investment Strategy β Explained Simply
The fund aims for long-term capital appreciation by dynamically investing across market capitalisations based on opportunities.
β‘οΈ In simple words:
The manager can shift between large, mid and small caps depending on valuations and market cycles.
π€ Sahifund Interpretation of Fund Managers & Their Performance
Kenneth Andrade
A seasoned investor with deep experience at Kotak AMC and IDFC AMC, known for long-term compounding style and bottom-up stock selection.
Sahifund Assessment:
This NFO is largely a βfund manager bet.β If Andradeβs disciplined investing framework translates into the MF structure, the fund may differentiate itself over full market cycles.
π― Suitable for Which Investors?
Suitable if you:
β’ Want an actively managed flexi-cap allocation
β’ Believe in experienced fund manager-led strategies
β’ Have investment horizon of 5β7 years or more
β’ Seek diversified exposure across market caps
Avoid if you:
β’ Prefer established flexi-cap funds with long track record
β’ Want low-cost passive investing
β’ Need predictable short-term performance
β’ Cannot tolerate interim volatility
β Should You Invest in This NFO?
Yes β but selectively.
Investors who trust Kenneth Andradeβs investment philosophy and are comfortable with a new AMC may consider allocation. However, conservative investors may wait for post-launch performance visibility.
Final Word:
A high-conviction flexi-cap strategy where success will depend more on execution than category tailwinds.
