Key details of the scheme

Investment objective: To generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity, debt, and gold ETFs.

Minimum investment: ₹5,000 for lump sum and ₹200 for SIP.

Asset allocation:

Equity: 65-80%

Debt and money market: 10-25%

Gold ETFs: 10-25%

Silver ETFs and REITs/InvITs: 0-10%

Tactical approach and flexibility

The fund will actively manage allocations across equity, debt, and gold based on market conditions. It will also employ hedging and arbitrage strategies to manage risk and optimize returns.

The equity investments will span across market caps, using both top-down and bottom-up approaches to identify opportunities.

Benchmark and fund management

The scheme is benchmarked against a blend of:

  • 65% Nifty 500 TRI
  • 25% Nifty Composite Debt Index
  • 10% Price of Domestic Gold

The fund will be managed by Nikhil Rungta, Sumit Bhatnagar, and Pratik Harish.

This fund suits investors seeking long-term wealth creation and diversification across asset classes. An investment horizon of at least three years is recommended for risk-adjusted returns, experts say.

Investors interested in exploring a multi-asset strategy can consider this fund to balance growth and stability. However, they should consider their personal goals and risk taking abilities.
