Should You Buy

The fund retains preference for businesses that are growing faster than the industry and economy, with focus on leaders or market share gainers. It places high emphasis on interplay of macro factors and sectoral impact in allocating weights. It engages in active shuffling of sectors based on views on the economy and monetary conditions. The fund’s performance in recent years has been erratic, ranking in the top quartile over the past five years, but in the third quartile over the past three years. Its year-to-date return profile has picked up, but the fund needs to sustain performance over longer time frames to be counted as a worthy option in this segment.
