It has a diversified portfolio in companies with large market capitalisation that are highly liquid. The fund managers follow a combination of value and growth investment with bottom-up stock picking. Further, the fund maintains an average allocation of 85 per cent in large caps. Investments in quality stocks are also retained for long stretches, espousing the buy and hold strategy for the long term. Fund managers also endeavour to stay fully invested with an average equity allocation of 92 per cent. There is no restriction on the allocation to stocks and sectors, with investments in several stocks exceeding 5 per cent frequently, such as Infosys and Bharti Airtel at the moment.

 

Performance


This fund is nearing 20 years of existence, and has been a consistent performer over different market cycles. Despite the market ups and downs, the fund has maintained a disciplined style purity. Not easily fazed even during the 2008 market turmoil, this fund largely remained invested with under 10 per cent cash exposure.

 

Although it is the largest fund in the category, it has underperformed the category average only on four occasions. A top-2 quartile performer 15 out of 20 times, it has been in the top quartile consistently from 2008 to 2011, though in 2012 it slipped to the third quartile because of marginal underperformance vis-a-vis category average.

Fund performance is achieved with investments in quality large-cap stocks such as Infosys, L&T, Reliance, BPCL, ICICI, BHEL, ITC and SBI which have been in its portfolio for the past 5 years. This fund tends to have phases of underperformance, especially in the short- to medium-term. Currently, the fund is overweight on healthcare and communication and underweight in FMCG, with exposure to metals shooting up in the past three months. A safe bet during bear phases, this fund checked its fall much better than peers in 2008 and 2011.

 

Why Invest?


This fund posts consistent risk-adjusted score and maintains a high return with low risk grade, which makes it a compelling fund in the core portfolio

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

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...

Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme (RGESS) set for launch this week
