Fund Overview

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio predominantly consisting of equity and equity related instruments of large cap companies.

There is no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.

Key Highlights
Cross-sectional momentum is the core criterion for stock selection which identifies and invests in top-performing large-cap stocks with consistent price strength, outperforming their sector and indices.
Absolute momentum assesses the directional trend of stocks or the market, regardless of relative performance. If the trend turns negative, the fund employs tactical measures, including derivatives and hedging, to reduce net equity exposure and protect against drawdowns.
Revenue momentum focuses on companies with strong top-line growth, highlighting those with consistent sales increases that precede earnings growth. This approach ensures the portfolio includes growth stocks that can sustain market leadership and capture long-term value creation.
Earnings momentum identifies companies with rapid growth in profitability at the PBT (Profit Before Tax) and PAT (Profit After Tax) levels, reflecting their ability to translate operational efficiency and revenue growth into shareholder value.

What is Momentum?

It is a strategy to invest in winning stocks which are showing strong momentum. Momentum stocks are such that exhibit positive price momentum – based on the phenomenon that stocks which have performed well in the past relative to other stocks (winners) continue to perform well in the future, and stocks that have performed relatively poorly (losers) continue to perform poorly. The momentum strategy is based on buy high, sell higher or alternatively, cut your losses and let your winners run.
