Should You Buy

This mid cap fund (earlier L&T Midcap) runs a sizeable allocation in large and small caps. Its preference is for scalable businesses with strong execution capability, proven management track record and strong financials. Quality of business, ESG and valuation are key parameters for consideration. The fund runs a heavily diversified portfolio, yet takes healthy positions in its top bets. The fund has exhibited erratic performance over the years, unable to deliver consistently. Even as it outperformed sharply last year, only a sustained improvement would warrant a relook at this fund.
