Note on Fund Managers’ performance
As you know, the Fund managers are like pilots navigating through both turbulent and calm skies. Their ability to manage the fund effectively during both challenging and favorable times is key. Therefore, analyzing the historical performance of fund managers is important to gauge their future potential. This NFO will have 3 fund managers and all of them have not so impressive performance in the randomly selected schemes.
[ C ] Our NFO guidance
Considering the current market conditions and the high price-to-earnings ratios, there is still potential for downside in large-cap stocks. Even after a significant market correction, many stocks continue to trade at elevated PE multiples, ranging from 40 to 60. While opinions on the valuation of individual stocks may differ, we believe it is wise to hold off on investing in this new fund offer (NFO) until market conditions stabilize. Alternatively, consider making a small investment now and gradually increasing your exposure once the market settles.
