Should You Buy
Earlier run as a multi-cap fund, this fund adopted the large- and mid-cap mandate in 2018. It retains a large-cap tilt, even as it has hiked its mid-cap presence. Its biggest positions are in large caps, while the mid-cap exposure is mostly towards the mid- and tailend of the portfolio. The preference is for companies that have the ability to generate consistent cash flows, have a proven business model with efficient management, and are available at a reasonable price. The fund has put in a strong, consistent show after 2018, barring a dip in 2021. It retains a superior risk-return profile among its peers, with the ability to provide better downside protection.
