Rising geopolitical and global uncertainties have brought about a great deal of unpredictability in the stock markets, forcing mutual fund investors to stick to schemes that can weather volatility more effectively. One scheme that has high exposure to large-sized companies and is also committed to cashing in on growth stories in mid- and small-sized companies is Kotak Select Focus, a multicap fund.
The scheme has more than 70% of its exposure to large-sized companies, and remaining to mid- and small-sized companies. Among multi-cap schemes, Kotak Select Focus has beaten its benchmark every time in the past seven years. It has delivered 11.3% and 20.8% in the past three- and fiveyear periods, while its benchmark, Nifty 200, has given 7% and 13.8 %, respectively, during the same period.
In the past six months, the scheme has enhanced exposure in diversified themes, which range from insurance to consumer discretionary. Some of the prominent names in its portfolio are Jubilant FoodWorks and ICICI Lombard General Insurance.
