Focused Equity Mutual Funds Limit Portfolios to 30 Stocks with Concentrated Investment Approach
Focused equity mutual funds are required by SEBI to invest in a maximum of 30 stocks, allowing fund managers to take concentrated positions based on conviction. While this approach can lead to higher returns if stock selections perform well, it also carries increased risk if key investments underperform. Some active equity funds not classified as focused funds also maintain concentrated portfolios with fewer stocks. Investors considering focused funds should weigh the potential for both significant gains and losses due to concentrated exposure.
