Should You Buy
Earlier run as a large-cap oriented fund, it was repositioned in the large- and mid-cap category a few years ago. It retains the large-cap tilt, with mid-cap exposure closely aligned with the minimum requirement of 35%. The fund portfolio has expanded to accommodate a higher mid-cap presence. The fund manager prefers quality businesses and avoids companies with low earnings visibility or weak managements. The fund enjoyed a strong run between 2019 and 2021, but lagged behind the index last year. It has come back sharply this year, beating the index, but has not kept pace with many of its peers in recent years.
