Strengths
  • Ahead of its category average over 3Y by 1.3 points.
  • Recovered from its worst fall in 5 months.

Weaknesses
  • Top 10 holdings make up 67% — a handful of stocks can swing returns sharply.
Ideal investor
  • Needs a 5–7+ years horizon to ride out its very high risk level.
  • Good fit for SIPs — spreading purchases smooths out 18.1% volatility.
Risk drivers

  • Financial makes up 98% — trouble in that sector hits the whole fund.
