Note on Fund Managers’ performance
As you know, we view fund managers as the pilots of an aircraft—responsible for skillfully navigating the fund through both smooth and turbulent market conditions. This particular fund is managed by two seasoned professionals. Mr. Dhaval Dhanani and Mr. Umeshkumar Mehta are CA and Ms. Nirali Bhansali is MBA with over 7 years of work experience with more than 5 years capital markets and investment research.
However, a random review of the schemes managed shows a mixed performance trend, indicating variability in outcomes.
[ C ] Our NFO guidance
The scheme aims to generate long-term capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio, primarily comprising Large Cap and Mid Cap equities. Over the past five years, the benchmark index has delivered an impressive return of 26.63%, reflecting strong performance potential in this segment. If the fund managers successfully identify high-growth opportunities within the broad universe of large and mid-cap stocks, the fund could deliver substantial returns. However, until there is greater clarity on the fund’s portfolio composition, we recommend a modest initial investment. A more informed decision can be taken once the complete portfolio is available for review.
