Should you buy? A multi-cap fund until 2018, this fund was repositioned as a large-cap fund, but moved easily to its new mandate given its historical large-cap bias. The fund retains focus on quality growth names, along with some representation of ideas from the value zone. The portfolio is heavily diversified but retains large positions in its top bets. Along with the change in mandate, the fund also underwent a change in stewardship.
After years of delivering consistent outperformance, the fund’s return profile has visibly slipped of late, owing to two bad years in 2020 and current year. Its superior downside performance has also faltered. Even as the new fund manager needs time to prove execution, investors should be watchful for sustained drag on performance.
