Should You Buy
This fund (previously HDFC Equity) has seen a notable shift in investment approach after a change in fund manager. Earlier managed with a distinct contrarian stance by veteran fund manager Prashant Jain, the new fund manager Roshi Jain focuses on quality stocks with strong growth visibility and a margin of safety in valuations. The fund's earlier approach historically lent a high degree of volatility in outcomes, with alternating bouts of sharp underperformance, followed by sharp upswings in return profile. In recent years, the fund has exhibited better consistency in outcomes, with a significantly improved risk profile. It has once again emerged as a worthy pick in its category.
