Should You Buy
This fund leans towards quality and growth style, targeting market leaders in emerging industries or higher growth businesses in established sectors. Apart from its large-cap and mid-cap bias, it also invests in overseas equities as a diversification strategy. The fund runs a highly diversified portfolio with around 120 stocks, allowing modest positions in its top bets. The fund has built a decent track record in its running time of six years, beating the index and its peers. However, its return profile has slipped slightly in recent years as the growth theme has withered. It can be expected to recover ground once the market conditions favour its investing style.
