The scheme seeks to generate income and capital appreciation by investing a certain portion in equity, equity-related instruments, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs).
The performance of the scheme will be benchmarked against CRISIL Hybrid 85+15 – Conservative Index TRI. Rajeev Thakkar, Raunak Onkar and Raj Mehta will manage the scheme.
Both Direct and Regular Plans will offer Growth and Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal Options.
Rajeev Thakkar, Chief Investment Officer, PPFAS Mutual Fund said the strategy is to allow the fund manager to move between accrual and duration related instruments – including sovereign, State Government, PSU and Corporate securities across all maturities.
“The fund will have 10-25 percent exposure in equity and equity-related instruments. Allocation can be increased or reduced using arbitrage. The scheme will also be able to invest up to 10 percent of its asset in units of REITs and InvITS,” Thakkar added.
While no exit load will be levied for the 10 percent of units from the date of allotment, however, 1 percent load will be applicable if redeemed within one year from the date of allotment for the beyond 10 percent of the units. No exit load will be levied if redemption is made after 1 year from the date of allotment of units.
