Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of securities that are involved in special situations such as restructurings, turnarounds, spin-offs, mergers & acquisitions, new trends, new & emerging sectors, digitization, premiumization, and other special corporate actions. These situations often create mispricings and undervalued opportunities that the fund aims to exploit for potential capital appreciation.
