Investment Objective
Portfolio Strategy
- A focused portfolio of investment ideas, agnostic to market capitalizations. The Strategy aims to invest across market capitalisation.
- Optimal diversification across stocks, with the opportunity to be overweight vis-à-vis its benchmark, S&P BSE 200, on certain high conviction picks, to potentially generate higher alpha.
- In case of debt exposures, the Strategy may invest in debt instruments through money market/liquid/short term mutual fund schemes of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund.
- The Strategy may not be restricted by any particular investment style and may opt for flexibility to select stocks across investment styles.
- May aim to use cash as a hedge against sharp declines in equity in an endeavour to protect the Strategy.
