FAQs

Your choice of mutual fund should depend on your investment goals and risk tolerance. A diversified equity fund invests in several stocks spread across multiple sectors. It is a strategy that can reduce your risks.

However, it increases your equity exposure which can reduce your profits. On the other hand, a focused fund is hazardous as the exposure to multiple equities is limited. However, they also give the highest returns.

A focused mutual fund invests in a maximum of 30 stocks. It allows fund managers to handpick stocks after thorough research. A detailed and in-depth analysis is done before they make the portfolio. It enables you to make higher profits. Moreover, they keep reviewing the portfolio to make changes when required to get you the best returns.

Focused funds are not for the average investors looking for an investment instrument to park their funds and earn returns. As these funds focus on a handful of stocks, they carry more risk.

These funds are suitable for individuals comfortable taking such a high degree of risk. The fund can either go uphill or downhill. The individual’s finances and personal outlook should not take a hit when the latter happens.

Investors who want to build a satellite fund in their portfolio can also consider focused funds. Including these funds can help optimise returns and average out the risk. However, investors should have a longer time horizon with at least five years to park their money.

 

You can invest in your selected focused mutual fund through a SIP. You can log in to your Upstox account for more details.

On the other hand, you have to pay long-term capital gains if the holding period of the focused mutual fund is more than a year. In this case, you will have to pay a long-term capital gain tax of 10%.
