The Tata Multi-sector Passive FoF aims to address this by employing factors depending upon Fund Manager assessment such as momentum-based allocation framework etc. to invest across sector index funds and ETFs.

The strategy may evaluate recent sector performance and adjust returns for volatility to favour sectors exhibiting relatively stronger and more stable trends, however past sector momentum is not indicative of future results. Portfolio allocations are determined based on sector outlook, momentum characteristics and broader macroeconomic considerations, with higher allocations to sectors demonstrating stronger momentum, according to a press release by the fund house.

"Diversification through sector allocation is a powerful driver of potential wealth creation, but timing it right is difficult. India’s economic engines shift over time. Trying to chase these cycles often leads to emotional bias and high tax outgo. The Tata Multi Sector Passive FoF offers a disciplined, rules-based framework that removes guesswork,’ said Anand Vardarajan, Chief Business Officer at Tata Asset Management.

“It automatically shifts toward leading sectors via low-cost passive instruments, while utilizing a fund manager’s discretion to capture sudden, event-driven moves. Through a diversified exposure across sectors, dynamic rebalancing and active oversight from our investment team, the scheme aims to help investors benefit from changing market trends,” Vardarajan further said.

By combining a Fund of Funds structure with a low-cost passive architecture, the fund aims to eliminate the emotional bias and timing challenges investors face when managing sector rotation on their own.

The fund house further said that the equity markets have demonstrated that sector leadership is dynamic and is influenced by changing macroeconomic and global market cycles. Over different phases, sectors such as information technology, pharmaceuticals, PSU banks, infrastructure, realty, manufacturing and consumption have each emerged as market leaders. Identifying these shifts before opportunities are fully priced in remains a challenge for investors.

The fund house further said that the fund spreads risk across multiple underlying sector index funds and ETFs and rebalancing within the FoF does not attract capital gains tax for the investor.
