Investment Objective

The Scheme aims to provide long-term capital appreciation and generate returns by investing predominantly in listed equity and equity-related securities across market capitalisation through contrarian investing. Contrarian investing includes businesses enjoying an economic moat, companies in sectors with high barriers to entry, and/or those undergoing special situations or an unfavourable business cycle. The Scheme aims to invest in domestic companies across all sectors with potential for meaningful growth and a sustainable competitive advantage.

The Scheme may aim for optimal diversification across market capitalisation, with the flexibility to be overweight in large, mid, or small cap stocks at any point in time to potentially generate higher alpha. The Scheme may invest up to 10% of investable funds in unlisted equities, as deemed appropriate by the Investment Manager.

A Larger Share of Global GDP

India's growth trajectory is expected to meaningfully raise its share of global GDP over the coming years.

Consumption Boost
