Looking for long-term bets? Here’s what MFs following ‘buy and hold’ approach bought
Since mutual fund managers advocate long-term investing, it pays if such funds hold on to their underlying shares for the long-term. Funds with a low portfolio turnover do just that. And here’s what they bought recently.
Many active fund managers prefer a ‘buy and hold’ approach in managing their stock portfolio. They identify stocks that have the potential to grow and reward investors in the long run. These stocks are sometimes held in their portfolio for years together. Past data shows that many such stocks demonstrated consistent growth in later years, turned multibaggers. Moneycontrol shortlisted a list of actively managed equity-related schemes that follow a buy and hold approach based on the Turnover Ratio (TO). TO tells you how frequently the securities within the portfolio are bought and sold in the past one year. For instance, for a scheme with an average of Rs 100 crore in assets under management (AUM), if the fund manager has transacted in securities worth Rs 50 crore, then dividing transaction value by the average AUM gives you the TO at 50 percent. TO is disclosed on monthly basis. Here, we took the average of the TO for the last one year and shortlisted the schemes with the TO of 30% and below; 133 schemes were finally shortlisted. For the purpose of our study, these schemes were considered to be the ones following a buy and hold approach. We, then, identified the below stocks that were most bought by those schemes in the six months ended October 31, 2022. Source: ACEMF.
