Should You Buy?
This mid-cap fund is known to retain a heavy presence in large-cap names as part of its emphasis on quality businesses. The fund prefers companies that either have a leadership position within emerging arenas or are challengers in established businesses. The fund’s portfolio size has expanded from 35-40 stocks 3-4 years ago to over 100 now. This is partly for better risk mitigation and also due to wider participation from mid-sized businesses in the earnings uptick. The fund has endured a sharp deterioration in performance in recent years amid the market shift towards value segment. It is likely to get back on its feet when the market rotation starts favouring growth and quality.
