The NFO opens for subscription on April 7, 2014 and closes on April 17, 2014.
Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund will launch its open ended equity scheme called MOSt Focused Multicap 35 fund to complete its range of product suite in the equity category.
The new fund offer opens for subscription on April 7, 2014 and closes on April 17, 2014.
Sharing the rationale behind the launch, Tahir Badshah, Senior Fund Manager & Co-Head, Equities, Motilal Oswal AMC said, ?"Mid cap stocks are performing well and available at reasonable price at this juncture. We are very bullish on mid cap stocks. On the other hand, some large cap stocks especially in pharma and IT sector have also delivered a good return. Since it is a multi-cap fund, we have no restriction in terms of market capitalization. We believe a blend of both large cap and mid cap can deliver decent returns to investors in long term."
The fund house is looking to collect Rs. 50 crore during the NFO period.
The scheme aims to achieve long term capital appreciation by investing in a maximum of 35 equity and equity related instruments across sectors.
The fund will follow a bottom up approach in stock picking based on quality of business and management, growth of earnings & sustained RoE and longevity of competitive advantage or economic moat of the business.
On investment strategy, Badshah said, "Like MOSt Focused 25 and MOSt Focused 30 Mid-Cap, we will continue to follow buy and hold strategy with value picking. We will focus on good quality stocks available at reasonable price. Also, our core belief is ?buy right and sit tight? strategy which implies that if you invest in a good quality stocks you need not worry about performance."
The fund house claims that the fund is best suited for medium and long term investment.
The fund will be benchmarked against CNX 500 Index. No exit load will be charged in the scheme. The minimum application amount would be Rs. 5,000. Tahir Badshah, Gautam Roy and Abhiroop Mukherjee will co-manage the fund.
