Should You Buy?
Apart from its mid-cap tilt, this fund retains a sizeable presence in large and small caps. The fund’s preference is for growth-oriented, niche businesses, with strong cash flows, healthy balance sheets and management pedigree. Its portfolio size has now expanded to more than 60 stocks, compared to its earlier stance of running a compact portfolio. It retains modest positions even in its top bets. The fund’s performance has dipped in recent years as market preferences have shifted away from growth names, even as its long-term track record has remained healthy. Its growth bias requires the cycle to turn in its favour. New fund managers at the helm will need time to prove execution capabilities.
