Should You Buy?
Earlier known as the HDFC Growth Opportunities, this fund shed its large-cap bias when it shifted to the large- and mid-cap mandate in 2018. It is currently evenly balanced betweeen large caps and mid/small caps. The fund’s preference is for businesses with distinct competitive advantages, superior financial strength and the potential for unlocking value. The fund portfolio has bloated further, now featuring nearly 200 individual bets with a very long tail of tiny positions. The fund’s track record prior to 2021 was poor, with prolonged bouts of underperformance. However, the fund has turned the corner impressively under its current manager to show sustained outperformance.
