[ C ] Our NFO Review
The Flexi Cap Fund aims to build a diversified portfolio of 50–70 stocks drawn primarily from the Nifty 500 universe. It also plans to include tactical bets from the next 500–750 companies to capture emerging opportunities.
The fund will typically hold 40 to 60 positions across multiple sectors, targeting a balance between bottom-up stock selection and benchmark alignment. The investment horizon is 3–5 years, with a focus on capital appreciation.
Unifi Mutual Fund is backed by Unifi Capital, an asset management firm with a 23-year track record and Rs 25,000 crore in AUM.This is Unifi Mutual Fund’s second product following the launch of the Unifi Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund, which has already garnered Rs 600 crore in AUM. The Flexi Cap Fund is part of the fund house’s plan to launch three focused funds in its initial phase.
It is important to note that the Flexicap space has high level of competition due to offerings from all the Fund Houses who have already generated huge AUMs and have a track record for the investor to look at.
In case of Unifi, the Fund House is also new and hence does not have a track record. It would be prudent for investors to wait and watch the fund performance for some time before taking investment decision.
