Invest Mirae Asset Great Consumer Fund Online

 

For retail investors, investing in the current market scenario seems to be a tricky exercise. One theme that works not only in the short term but also in the long term is consumption. Among schemes which have sharp focus on consumption theme, Mirae Asset Great Consumer Fund has consistently delivered good returns.

At present, close to 25% of the scheme's portfolio is exposed to banking and financials. One of the chief reasons for this is that these sectors serve as the backbone of the economy by funding growth. The scheme also has reasonably good exposure to other themes under the broad consumption category. One such theme is automobiles. The scheme's fund managers Neelesh Surana, Bharti Sawant and Sumil Agrawal have consistently stuck to the fund house's philosophy of refraining from buying overvalued stocks and buying those firms which have high cash flows and good investment ratios.

Due to this, the scheme has beaten its peers by a wide margin and benchmark indices BSE 200 (65%) and S&P Asia Pacific Emerging BMI Index (35%). The only concern about the scheme is its assets under management at `42 crore. But considering the performance of Mirae Asset as a fund house, the performance of this scheme is expected to sustain given its investment philosophy.
