Should you buy?
Earlier run as a multi cap offering Sundaram Equity Multiplier, this fund was designated a large and mid cap fund in 2018. The fund positioning itself has not budged, retaining a large cap tilt with up to 60% of corpus in it and the rest in mid caps. The portfolio is fairly diversified, but retains large positions in bigger companies and limits size of individual bets in mid cap space. The preference is for businesses with long growth runway. After two years of strong showing, the fund witnessed a blip in 2022, when market preferences shifted towards value stocks. A new yet experienced fund manager at the helm may need time to steer fund towards consistent outperformance.
