Focused funds are getting popular due to their systematic approach in selecting stocks. These funds aim for higher returns by Investing in limited stocks. But, before we jump to the list of best performing focused funds, let’s first understand the objective and purpose of this Mutual Fund scheme.
What are Focused Funds?
Focused funds are a type of Equity Fund that invests in a limited number of stocks. These funds focus on large-cap, mid, small or multi cap stocks. As per Security and Exchange of India (SEBI), a focused fund can invest in a minimum of 30 stocks. A focused fund scheme can invest at least 60 percent of its total assets in equities.
By investing in a limited number of quality companies that have a growth potential, focused funds aim to deliver high returns. These funds emphasize quality over quantity. Rather than diversifying across a large number of holdings, the fund manager of focused funds would prefer holding stocks that have the most confidence in. The securities that these funds buy are usually thoroughly researched.
One of the disadvantages of these funds is that they lack diversification, thus exposed to a great amount of risk compared to other Mutual Funds.
Benefits of Investing in Focused Mutual Funds
As focused funds invest in limited stocks, they are extremely methodical. These funds strive to choose the best possible investments that can work in the favor of investors. The whole purpose of the focused fund is to hit the bull’s eye with the right stock and earn high returns. The fund managers of focused funds are expert at picking winners and beating the returns of the broader stock Market.
