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 provide long term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity related securities with a focus on identifying medium term cycles which can impact the business fundamentals. This will be done through dynamic allocation between various themes and stocks at different stages of cycles in the economy.
