Should You Buy?

The biggest offering in its category, this large-cap fund emphasises on individual stock selection for outperformance rather than taking bold sector calls. It avoids the ‘growth at reasonable price’ segment and prefers a mix of ideas from two opposing themes—high quality businesses trading at a premium and distinctly value-centric opportunities. While it saw a sharp drop in performance over 2017-2020, the fund’s return profile has made a strong comeback, with even its regular plan variant beating the index consistently since 2021. This return to form retains its position as a worthy pick in the long run.
