FUND PHILOSOPHY*

The fund aims to generate steady returns by investing in the leading stocks of the chosen sectors, predominantly amongst the large cap universe. The portfolio approach is based on a robust three pillar strategy, namely:
Buying the right sectors – Identifying and investing in the right sectors with the flexibility to have large deviations from the benchmark sector weights.
Buying the sector leaders - Investing in the sector leader companies having strong fundamentals, solid execution track record as well as resilient balance sheet to withstand any cyclical downturns.
Tactical allocation to mid/small caps – Opportunistic allocation to take advantage of any mispriced opportunities or a benevolent risk-on environment.
The fund has a “Growth” and “Quality” oriented investment style, and is focused on companies having a strong visibility of earnings growth coupled with healthy return on capital employed.

     OUTLOOK

Three key drivers of Equity markets are 1) Earnings 2) Interest Rates and 3) Valuations.

Earnings - For the first time since the 2008 GFC, India has seen 4 consecutive quarters where BSE200 2-year Forward EPS has been upgraded. Sustained momentum in earnings resulting in a cycle of earnings upgrades can help drives markets higher.

Interest Rates - Interest Rates, both in India and globally are trending upwards on account of higher inflation and faster than expected economic recovery. Higher interest rates are generally negative for Valuations.

Valuation - Indian markets have significantly outperformed global markets since the pandemic bottom. The scope for valuation rerating driven market move is limited.
