IDFC Focused Equity Fund (IFEF), an open-ended diversified equity fund, will restrict inflows for amounts exceeding Rs2 lakh per application in lump sum from 4 December. Inflows through systematic investment plans (SIP) will continue with a limit of Rs2 lakh per instalment.
Restricting inflows is not a new strategy for the fund house—its IDFC Premier Equity Fund, a Rs5,500 crore fund, accepts fresh inflows only through SIPs and periodically opens for larger lump sum investments.
