The new fund offer (Canara Robeco Launches Large-Cap NFO) is open for subscription from June 28, 2010 and closes on July 27, 2010.
The fund will invest 65-100 per cent of its portfolio in large-cap equities and equity-related instruments. The balance 0-35 per cent could be invested in domestic debt and money market instruments (including securitised debt up to 10 per cent of assets under management).
The scheme will focus primarily on stocks that rank among the top 150 by market capitalisation. The scheme's performance will be benchmarked against the BSE 100.
The NFO will use inputs from the Robeco Emerging Markets Quantitative model to generate investment ideas.
