Investment Info
Investment Objective
The primary objective of the Scheme is to identify and select low priced stocks through price discovery mechanism, which would broadly include: To capitalise on available opportunity on growth potential offered by undervalued penny stocks. Such stocks being low priced and if dividend paying, decent dividend yield will give desired cushion in the volatile capital market. Lower side risk is minimum in such investments. Many of such cases where investment will be made, may be turnaround cases, therefore, greater potential for improvement in NAV.
