It mainly invests in equity and equity- related instruments, with minimum 65 per cent exposure to top 100 companies, as measured by market capitalisation.

time frames ( see chart). Further, it has outpaced its benchmark and peers during bear and bull phases, except post the global financial crisis –( between March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010), where it lagged the category by a thin margin.
A sum of ₹ 1,000 invested in the fund at inception would have grown to ₹ 4,241 by September 21, 2015 – an annualised return of 15.69 per cent vis- à- vis the peer group's 15.09 per cent (₹ 4,027) and the benchmark's 12.90 per cent (₹ 3,331).
