Should You Buy
This fund runs a large-cap tilt like many of its peers, yet retains a sizeable presence in both mid and small caps. The fund has seen its portfolio grow sharply from around 40 in December 2021 to 60 at present. It retains healthy positions in some of its top bets, but has shed its earlier preference for taking only positive active positions relative to the index. The fund enjoys an impressive long-term track record, but it suffered a sharp drop in performance in 2022. The fund has recovered smartly over the past year, arresting the slide. Sustained momentum in performance is needed to get the fund back on a strong footing.
