Should You Buy
This fund was born out of the merger of Sundaram Equity with Principal Multi Cap when Sundaram MF took over the reins of Principal MF’s schemes in 2021. The fund emphasises on growth at reasonable price (GARP) framework, with a preference for focused businesses with long growth runway. Apart from the 25% fixed allocation to large-, mid- and smallcap segments, it prefers to retain presence in large-caps for the last 25% part of its portfolio where leeway in allocation is afforded for a multi-cap fund. Since its rechristening, the fund has delivered decent outperformance relative to its benchmark, but has fallen behind its peers. The fund needs to improve its show relative to peers to be considered a worthy bet in this segment.
