The fund manager ensures a diversified portfolio with no market cap or sector bias. The fund invests in growth-oriented companies with strong fundamentals.

Shah has transformed the fund into a diversified and consistent offering. When he took over the fund, he restructured the portfolio to make it focused towards domestic consumption. He has also been pretty successful in utilising the agility that a small fund offers by spotting opportunities and capitalising on them. When he joined in September 2008, he cut down the exposure to Metals to again increase it within two months and finally offload it almost completely by December 2008. This move, along with increased exposure to Banking, helped the fund gain 15 per cent (highest in its category) in December. The fund's loss in the December 2008 quarter was just 11 per cent (category average: -23%).
When the market turned in March 2009, Shah was almost fully invested (89% to equity). This coupled with stock picking done in 2008 at attractive prices helped the fund deliver 58 per cent in the June 2009 quarter (category average: 47%).

The fund has evolved from a concentrated and risky offering into a more diversified one. Though allocation to a single stock has gone up to 9 per cent, it is seen only in few large caps. Allocation to the top 5 holdings (23%) is in line with the category average. Shah changes the market cap exposure according to market conditions. In 2010, he halved exposure to mid caps and increased it to large caps (currently at around 65%). However, allocation to small caps has barely exceeded 15 per cent since 2007, a drastic change from its past.
