Should you buy?
Plying a value conscious investing approach, this fund stands apart from many of its peers. The fund manager avoids the high growth space if valuations are exhorbitant. While the fund retains a large cap tilt, it has hiked presence in mid and small cap segments in recent years. While its value bias has suppressed its return profile for years, the fund has picked up smartly since 2020 after the value theme came back to fore. The trend needs to sustain longer for the fund to improve its longer term return metrics.
