Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Fund

Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Fund has a long history that spans nearly two decades. The fund was launched by Alliance Capital Mutual Fund in August 1998 as Alliance Equity Fund. It was the flagship diversified equity fund of the AMC at the time.

The fund gained popularity as it was managed by ace fund manager Mr Samir Arora, then CIO of Alliance Capital MF. He generated supernormal returns for the fund and other schemes of the fund house during the tech rally in 1999-2000. However, the overaggressive nature, also led to huge losses for investors when the tech bubble popped. Mr Arora had to quit the fund house in 2003, as the regulator had charged him of professional misconduct, fraudulent and unfair trade practices and insider trading.

A year later, Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund took over the assets of Alliance Capital Mutual Fund. Alliance Equity Fund was renamed to Birla Sun Life Equity Fund. And more recently, to Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Fund, after 'Aditya' was prefixed to all legal entities of the Aditya Birla Group.

Through the long history of the fund, the fund management changed hands several times. Mr Mahesh Patil, presently co-CIO at ABSL Mutual Fund, was at the helm the longest – between November 2005 and September 2012. The fund is currently managed by Mr Anil Shah, who took over the reins in October 2012.

Though being free to invest in stocks across market-caps, ABSL Equity Fund maintains a large-cap bias. About 70%-75% of the assets are invested in large-cap stocks. Mid-and small-caps account for up to 20% of the portfolio. Thus the fund invests more like a large-cap fund, but maintains the flexibility to invest in mid caps if needed.

This flexibility enables the fund to provide stability in volatile market periods and turn aggressive when the market valuations come to be attractive.

In terms of performance, Aditya Birla SL Equity Fund has delivered a respectable performance over the long term, making it among the top performing funds for the period. However, its returns over the past year or so have trailed the benchmark. This can be attributed to the cautiousness developed due to the high market valuations. Hence, it needs to be seen how the fund is able to recover from here.
