Investing in a range of market capitalization and sectors, the fund provides a stable core allocation option with an eye toward the long term.

According to the business, the fund uses a factor investing strategy to build three baskets that represent quality, growth, and value equities.

Through diversification throughout several baskets, the fund lessens the cyclical nature of any one component. The fund chooses the equities with the strongest momentum within each basket, creating a diversified portfolio of 50–60 stocks.

This open-ended equity scheme adhered to the investing premise of business cycles. Long-term investors looking for capital appreciation could have benefited from this program.

Gupta stated earlier this week that mutual funds (MFs) no longer use the indexation approach.
