"The equity investment strategy of the Bajaj Allianz Life Investment team revolves around identifying companies with a competitive advantage, good corporate governance, high ROE/ROCE, robust free cash flow, growth visibility and attractive valuations. The underlying philosophy is to uncover businesses with large market opportunities and prioritse growth at a reasonable price from a valuation perspective," Bajaj Allianz Life said.
Bajaj Allianz Life Small Cap Fund will invest minimum 60 percent in small cap stocks. Market-cap exposure is based on equity exposure re-scaled to 100 percent.
Why invest in small cap fund?
Small-cap fund category has seen significant traction from investors in the other financial saving avenues, over the past few years. They have managed to outperform the benchmark Nifty Small Cap 100 index by a significant margin over the long term.
Nifty Small-cap 100 index valuation has moderated from its highs and is now below the long-term average, making a case for investment in small-caps from a valuation perspective.
