Suitable For Which Investors?
This is a fund that invests mainly in companies that adhere to the narrow investment mandate mentioned in its investment objective.
We believe that investors should avoid funds that have a narrowly defined investment focus such as this one. Instead, they should invest in flexi-cap funds which provide complete freedom to the fund management team to invest in companies from which it expects maximum gains.
But if you do invest, you must do so only through the SIP route. Click here to read a primer on SIP investing.
