These funds aim to provide investors with a strategic way to participate in sectors known for their resilience compared to broader equity markets
Three fund houses – DSP Mutual Fund, Emkay Investment Mangers and Samco Asset Management – are launching a slew of equity schemes as the secondary market remains vibrant.
DSP Mutual Fund announced the launch of two new index funds, DSP Nifty IT Index Fund and DSP Nifty Healthcare Index Fund. These funds aim to provide investors with a strategic way to participate in sectors known for their resilience compared to broader equity markets.
The new fund offers (NFOs) that opened for both schemes on June 2 will close on June 16.
“These sectors have historically exhibited lower drawdowns and quicker recoveries during crises like the Global Financial Crisis and Covid-19, and benefit from diversified global revenues. This launch provides a balanced approach to combining growth with resilience, helping investors construct a more efficient portfolio,” said the fund house..
PMS/AIF from Emkay
Emkay Investment Managers Limited (EIML), the asset management arm of Emkay Global Financial Services, launched ‘Emkay SMID Cap Growth Engine Fund’. EIML is aiming to raise ₹500-1,000 crore through the scheme. Under this PMS and AIF product investments are made in equities and equity related instruments.
Small & Mid Cap (SMID) offers broader exposure to India’s growth story through innovation, digitalisation, capex, and consumption, providing more opportunities for alpha generation compared to large caps, Emkay said in a release.
According to EIML, mid and small-cap companies are anticipated for positive growth over next 3-5 years, making them a good potential bet for investing.
Large & Mid-cap fund
Samco Asset Management Private Ltd has launched the Samco Large & Mid Cap Fund—a distinctive offering combining the stability of large-cap stocks with the robust growth potential of mid-cap companies.
The NFO will be open for subscription from June 5 and close on 19. This actively managed fund is the first and only fund in the category to use a proprietary momentum-based framework — the CARE Momentum Strategy — which stands for cross-sectional, absolute, revenue, and earnings Momentum, Samco said in a release. The fund leverages dynamic momentum metrics to identify stocks that are outperforming peers not just in price but also in business fundamentals.
