Launched in the turbulent phase of the 2008 market crash, the fund has come a long way to garner staggering in-flows, making it a fund with a big corpus. The fund manager sticks to his conviction when it comes to stock picking, which could lead to concentrated exposure. However, these risks have worked in the fund’s favour so far. Another hallmark of this fund is its downside containment, which allows it to outperform the benchmark consistently.
Launch Date: May 7, 2008
Fund Managers: Sankaran Naren and Rajat Chandak
