Risk Profile: This fund belongs to the high risk category given complete exposure only to equity. However, by way of SIP the risk can be reduced and also prudent asset allocation across different scheme including debt and balanced fund can provide optimum mix and reduce the risk. Also as we think long term trend for Nifty is on upside this fund offers good opportunity to ride the next wave of up move.
Time cycle of 64 weeks: Time is difficult parameter to judge while investing nevertheless here we are trying to find out the cycles which can increase in objectivity while doing investment process. 64 weeks Time cycle has been working well and the same is due by start of 2016. So we expect NAV to move in correction till start of 2016 and towards 22-24 level which will provide buying opportunity.
Investment Perspective: Small investments can be made in this scheme and once the correction is complete the exposure can be increased to capitalize on the next big move. Parking your fund by SIP route offers good option for now.
