Investment Strategy: One of the key strengths of the Nifty 500 Multifactor MQVL 50 is its investment strategy. The fund largely follows a Multifactor approach of investing and invests across market capitalizations. While single-factor strategies may thrive under certain market conditions, multifactor investing provides a more diversified and resilient approach. Multifactor investing combines multiple factors, such as value, momentum, quality, size, and low volatility, to build a portfolio with diversified risk exposures and the potential for enhanced returns. This approach reduces the reliance on any single factor, mitigating the impact of periods when certain factors underperform. By balancing riskier factors with more stable ones, multifactor strategies aim to smooth out performance fluctuations and improve consistency over time, offering a disciplined way to enhance portfolio performance and manage risk
Diversification: Diversification means spreading your capital among various sectors and stocks. Since the fund invest in portfolio of stocks into various sectors and stocks, it reduces the risk of concentration into single stock or sector. All the sectors do not outperform / underperform at the same time. Every sector has its own market dynamics and sector tailwinds / headwinds do not always coincide with market upcycle / downcycle. In addition, diversification in this fund will be across multiple factors, not just restricted to stocks or sectors.
