Is this fund for you?

DHFL Pramerica Tax Savings Fund (DPTSF) will actively manage a diversified portfolio seeking strong growth companies with sustainable business models. The fund will reduce risk through diversification of the portfolio, which the AMC aims to achieve by spreading the investments over a range of industries, sectors and market capitalizations.

The Investment Manager will select equity securities on a top-down and bottom–up, stock–by– stock basis, with consideration given to price–to–earnings, price–to–book, and price–to–sales ratios, as well as growth, margins, asset returns, and cash flows, amongst others. The Investment Manager will use a disciplined quantitative analysis of financial operating statistics.

The asset allocation under normal circumstances:

Risk Profile
High/Medium/Low
Minimum Maximum
Equity & Equity Related Instruments 80% 100% High
Cash, Money Market Instruments & Liquid schemes of DHFL Pramerica Mutual Fund 0% 20% Low to Medium

Fund Manager Profile

Mr. Brahmaprakash Singh has over 18 years of experience in broad based investment management. He holds an MMS degree to his credit. He is the Executive Director & CIO of Equity at DHFL Pramerica Asset Managers Private Limited. Prior to working with DHFL Pramerica Asset Managers he was the Chief Investment Advisor at BCP Advisors Private Limited.

Mr. Ritesh Jain has over 13 years of experience in Fixed Income fund Management and overlooking processes, system and risk management with respect to fixed Income investments. He is the Executive Director & Head of Fixed Income at DHFL Pramerica Asset Managers Private Limited.

Fund Outlook

Considering the fund’s investment objective, indicative asset allocation and suggested portfolio strategies, it is likely that, the fund will invest predominantly in high growth companies. The fund may remain unbiased to any marketcapitalisation. The success of DPTSF largely depends on how the fund manager balances between valuations and the growth prospects of a company. Therefore, quality of risk management will play a crucial role in deciding how the fund performs in future. Being an Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) where investors are locked in for a minimum period of three years, the fund manager is likely to take positions in stocks with a long term view.
