Up capture is how much of the benchmark's gain this scheme kept in the months the
benchmark rose; down capture, how much of its fall it took. Below 100 on the down side and above it
on the up side is the combination every fund is trying for and few reach.
Measured over the 23 months this scheme and
Nifty 100 share.

Effective stocks is what the concentration works out to: a fund holding
19 names but most of its money in a few
behaves like a fund of 8. Cash includes repo and TREPS, which
every fund parks money in overnight.

The list above is stocks and fund units. Treasury bills, repo and money-market
lines roll over every month by design — they are not decisions, so they are totalled here rather
than listed as activity.
Not investment advice. InvestVerdict is not a SEBI-registered Investment Adviser or Research Analyst. Every figure is computed from AMFI's published NAV history and the
portfolio the AMC filed with AMFI; none of it is a recommendation to buy, hold or sell. Past
