Pune (Maharashtra) [India], February 29: The newly launched Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid Cap Fund reopens for subscription today after a successful NFO period. This open-ended equity scheme by Bajaj Finserv AMC aims at long-term wealth creation by investing predominantly in large and mid-cap companies. At the heart of this scheme is the moat investing strategy.
What is moat investing?
An economic moat serves the same purpose as a moat in a medieval fortress - it's an additional defence against the competition. Moat investing is a strategy of identifying and investing in companies that have such effective buttresses and advantages over their peers in an increasingly competitive economy.
Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid Cap Fund aims to combine the relative stability of large cap stocks with the growth potential of mid cap companies to create a diverse and balanced portfolio that seeks to capture opportunities across market capitalisations.
The scheme aims to focus on companies that with a distinct competitive advantage - through innovation, differentiation, adaptability, cost advantage, efficiency of scale, consistent performance, among other things. Such a strategy seeks to capitalise on the growth potential offered by the equity market while mitigating the impact of volatility by focusing on companies that have consistently delivered results across market cycles.
Apart from moat investing, the strategy for creating Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid Cap Fund portfolio is based on the following principles:
InQuBe investment philosophy: The company's InQuBe investment philosophy has three tenets: information edge, quantitative edge, and behavioural edge. The philosophy combines information gathering, analysis, and the understanding of how human behaviour drives investment decisions to create a holistic approach to identifying investment opportunities.
Other features of the scheme
Growth-oriented: The inclusion of companies across market capitalisations allows the scheme to leverage the relative stability of large cap companies with the growth potential of mid cap companies. This, along with the strategic selection of assets with moat investing, aims to generate capital appreciation over the long term while mitigating risk.
Diversified portfolio: Apart from large and mid cap stocks, the scheme will also invest in a handful of debt securities and money market instruments to provide additional stability and liquidity to the portfolio.
High active share: The portfolio allocation will have a high active share - i.e., it will not merely replicate the benchmark index but will be driven by the fund manager's independent and strategic investment decisions. This approach gives the scheme the potential to outperform the benchmark index because the portfolio composition is driven by the fund manager's insights and expertise, allowing it to adapt to market conditions.
Low turnover portfolio: With an investment strategy based on long-term vision and growth, the scheme aims to have a low turnover portfolio, which means that instead of frequent buying and selling, the scheme will follow a buy-and-hold approach. This not only creates stability in the portfolio but also reduces transaction costs for the investor.
