It is a concentrated equity fund and will invest in 25 stocks from amongst the top 200 companies of the country.

Axis Focused 25 Fund is another equity fund with focused approach launched by Axis Mutual Fund. It will be an open-ended equity scheme and will invest in 25 companies chosen from the top 200 (according to market capitalisation). It is the seventh such fund in this category.

 

Investment Objective & Strategy
The fund seeks to generate long term capital appreciation by investing 65-100% in equities. 90-100% of the equity investment would be in companies forming the top 200, while the rest can go to those outside it. Debt allocation will vary between 0-35%. The fund manager will follow a bottom-up stock selection approach focusing on appreciation potential of individual stocks from a fundamental perspective. Usually, Axis AMC employs a "fair value" based research process for its schemes to analyse the appreciation potential of each stock in its universe. Fair Value is a measure of the intrinsic worth of a company.

This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

Investment Strategy - What is Sector Rotation Theory?

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   The economy goes through cycles : it expands for a few years and then contracts. Study of historical data suggests that different sectors tend to perform well on the stock markets during different stages of the economic cycle. While history never repeats itself exactly, some broad patterns tend to recur. Investors can take advantage of the sector rotation theory to move their money from those sectors that have seen their best times to those that are likely to do well in future.   The person who developed the sector rotation theory is Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor's. He developed this theory by studying data on economic cycles going as far back as 1854 provided by the National Bureau of Economic Research ( NBER ) of the US.   When trying to correlate stock-market perfor...

Factors Affecting Silver Rates in India

  Factors Affecting Silver Rates in India There are a lot of factors at play that impact silver prices in India. Even though silver rates have shown a steady increase over the last two decades, the historical trends should not be taken as a benchmark when considering future price volatility. Investment in silver as a commodity has gained steam in the country, and investors need to factor in various variables if they are to make decent profits from silver in the short/long run. Large investors:   The silver market is much smaller than the gold market. As such, large investors or traders can potentially influence silver prices. A point in case here is Warren Buffet buying 130 million troy ounces of silver in 1997 at $4.50/ounce, which impacted market prices. Oil prices:   Mining of silver is an energy-intensive process, and so silver prices are correlated with oil prices, the primary energy source in today's world. Also, imported silver requires a strong logistics platform backed by ...
