Risk Elements
- Mirae Asset courted controversy
over the decision to reclassify its multi-cap fund as a large-cap fund. For
whatever it is worth, it seems that as per the last portfolio disclosure, 19 of
the 28 stocks in the new fund are also part of the erstwhile multi-cap fund
(now large-cap fund), with a portfolio overlap of 45%. - Recently there were losses in
Fixed Maturity Plans (FMP) investors which is part of debt segment the parent
company refused to bear losses. Even though such cant occur in equity but if
there’s sudden redemption pressure on the fund it can lead to steep decline in
value without AMC stepping in.
Should I Invest in Mirae Asset Large Cap Fund?
One can consider it as given its
outperformance compared to peers. It invests in most (50+ stocks) of the large
caps, it takes into account large % of 100 stocks & if one wants to add a
large cap fund It can be a part of mutual fund portfolio if you want to have an
average risk tolerance.
