The fund, which is managed by Mahesh Patil, was launched in October 2005, and had quarterly average assets under management ( AUM) of ₹ 1,529 crore as on June 30 this year. It mainly invests in equity and equity- related instruments, with minimum 65 per cent exposure to top 100 companies, as measured by market capitalisation.
The scheme's investment and stock selection strategy is to follow a bottom- up approach, with emphasis on identifying companies having astrong competitive position in good businesses, and quality managements.
The fund has outperformed both its benchmark (CNX Nifty Index) and the category (average performance of schemes defined under the large cap equity category of CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking –June 2015) across various
time frames ( see chart). Further, it has outpaced its benchmark and peers during bear and bull phases, except post the global financial crisis –( between March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010), where it lagged the category by a thin margin.
A sum of ₹ 1,000 invested in the fund at inception would have grown to ₹ 4,241 by September 21, 2015 – an annualised return of 15.69 per cent vis- à- vis the peer group's 15.09 per cent (₹ 4,027) and the benchmark's 12.90 per cent (₹ 3,331).

Despite lower exposure to large cap stocks and relatively higher exposure to small and mid- cap stocks ( 19 per cent) vis- a- vis peers ( 11 per cent), its volatility (beta of 0.94) is in line with peers ( beta of 0.95), which indicates its ability to manage risk effectively.
