About

About this fund

The scheme’s own words, its benchmark and the people running it.

Investment objective

The scheme seeks to generate long term capital appreciation with relatively lower volatility by allocation of funds into equity assets based on Price Earning Ratio (PE Ratio) levels. When the markets become expensive in terms of 'Price to Earnings' Ratio'; the scheme will reduce its allocation to equities and move assets into debt and/or money market instruments and vice versa.
