Review of Mirae Asset India Equity Fund
The fund seeks to provide the benefits of growth from equity markets.
The fund employs a time-tested investment approach and has generated steady returns across the market cycle thereby garnering a favourable view on the fund. The fund manager Mr. Neelesh Surana manages the fund since inception thus indicating stability of the management team.
The fund follows a disciplined approach to investment and risk management and seeks to predominantly invest in large-cap stocks that are priced reasonably. The fundamental bottom-up analysis has resulted in a well-diversified portfolio with no sector, stock, theme, style.
The team sticks to its belief of generating alpha by investing in sound companies and not by taking sectoral bets. While Surana employs a research-intensive process, we can’t negate the huge key-person risk. Overall, the fund follows a good investment process and its consistency in performance is likely to ensure that the performance is not carried away in an adverse market situation. The fund is rated five stars and with a Silver rating by Morningstar.
