But during this period, the fund has been nimble on its feet, be it stock choices or sector preferences. Over the three-year period, it has earned a return of about 25 per cent, beating its category average by a margin of 6 percentage points.

  The scheme will actively manage a portfolio of good quality corporate debt as well as Money Market Instruments so as to provide reasonable returns and liquidity to the Unit holders.   In a category where most funds pride themselves on actively managing both duration and credit, this fund takes a more passive approach to earn higher yields.

  International funds can help you diversify your portfolio & shield against poor performance of Indian companies, markets or the rupee   We do recommend international funds to our investors as they help you diversify your portfolio and shield against poor performance of Indian companies, markets or the rupee. Indian markets won't be the best-performing markets at all times and there may be phases when other stock markets beat Indian equities. Having an international fund in your portfolio will thus de-risk your investment and provide you with global exposure   You can acquire international exposure in three ways: First, by buying funds that invest 65 per cent of their portfolios in Indian stocks and the rest globally. In this case you will enjoy the tax breaks available to domestic equity funds. Templeton India Equity Income   or   Birla Sun Life International Equity Fund   are the funds that follow this approach.
