”India as a growing market is ever-changing and dynamic leading to multiple special opportunities. For e.g. Launch of PLI and the world looking for China+1 created an opportunity for the electronics manufacturing sector in India. A similar opportunity can also arise in a company that sees a management change, aiming to improve its prospect of future growth,” said Nilesh Shah, Managing Director, of Kotak Mutual Fund.

How is it different?

“Broad thematic funds such as Kotak Special Opportunities Fund can be part of the portfolio of investors as these are generally diversified across sectors. Unlike sectoral funds which focus on opportunities in a single sector thereby warranting only a tactical allocation in investors’ portfolio, these funds can see strategic allocation because of their broad-based nature,” said Biraja Tripathy, Head Products, Kotak Mutual Fund.
