In Search For Long-Term Winners: Top stocks that tax-saving MFs have added

Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS) schemes are the potential long-term wealth creators. Their equity-oriented portfolio not only helps to save tax but also to generate inflation-beating returns over the long run. They come with a mandatory lock-in period of three years. Such lock in provides leeway to the fund managers to hold for long term. Most of the fund managers of ELSS schemes have been enjoying the comfort of managing a less active portfolio (they follow buy and hold strategy) on account of the lock-in. They identify the stocks that have a potential to generate return over the long run. Here is the list of top newly added stocks over the last six months, Data as of September 2023. Source: ACEMF.
