The New Fund Offer (NFO) opened for subscription on August 28 and will close on September 11.
The scheme will invest 80% to 100% of its assets in equity and equity-related instruments following a value investment strategy. It will invest across market capitalisations and sectors rather than following a specific market-cap or sector allocation.
What is the investment strategy?
The fund will use a bottom-up stock-picking approach, supplemented by macroeconomic considerations. Its investment framework focuses on the “Rate of Change” (ROCh) in a company’s business fundamentals.
The approach looks for measurable changes in factors such as demand, orders, output or pricing and assesses whether these changes can translate into higher revenue, margins and return on capital employed (ROCE).
The investment process is structured around four stages: Stimulus, Rate of Change, P&L Transmission and ROCE Inflexion.
The fund will also use a five-filter approach for portfolio allocation. This involves identifying investment opportunities, testing the investment thesis against predefined triggers, increasing positions after confirmation, reducing exposure as the rate of change weakens and reallocating the released weight to other opportunities.
Portfolio and fund details
The scheme is expected to hold 50-80 stocks and will remain diversified across market capitalisations and sectors.
The Nifty 500 TRI is the benchmark for the scheme. Nav Bhardwaj will manage the fund.
The minimum initial investment is ₹5,000, while additional investments can be made in multiples of ₹1.
The fund will be available under both Direct and Regular plans, with Growth and IDCW options.
The scheme is aimed at investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through equity investments, with the fund house indicating an investment horizon of five years or more.
