Should You Buy?
The fund adopted the mid-cap mandate in 2018 after being run as a mid- and small-cap fund previously. It retains sizeable presence in small-caps apart from its mid-cap tilt. It also runs a leaner yet well diversified portfolio featuring modest positions in its top bets. The fund seeks businesses with high ROE, low leverage and positive cash flows, with sustainable competitive advantages. While the fund’s long-term track record is erratic, it has endured a torrid time since 2021. It has sharply lagged both its index and peers, sinking to the bottom of the performance charts. Investors should stick with more proven offerings in this segment.
