Fund Analysis
A steady fund management of over a decade, a buy and hold strategy, consistency in performance over long period considering the 3 year lock in are some of the reasons for the fund to be made as an investment choice. The fund is overweight on midcap with around 50% into midcaps. The top 10 holdings comprise around 50% of the portfolio. The fund though seems to be taking an extra risk, the drawdown and volatility measures over an increasing period of time prove otherwise. Hnce,the bear phase of the market did affect its performance but the fund soon bounced back. Considering its flexible investment nature, an asset size of 6000 crore should not prove to be an obstacle in generating alpha.
