However, it was realigned a few years ago towards a large-cap biased fund in line with peers in the multi-cap category. It retains higher presence in the mid-cap segment relative to peers. It is now run under the flexi-cap umbrella to retain flexibility in maneuvering across market cap. The fund manager runs a diversified portfolio, but retains large positions in top few bets. Bulk of the portfolio is in market leaders offering steady compounding of earnings, supplemented by some tactical exposure to take advantage of cyclical mispricing. Apart from change in positioning, the fund has also seen several fund manager changes over the years, hurting its return profile. For now, investors can stick with more proven offerings in this space.
