If you are looking for a fund with a demonstrated track record of superior performance with consistency, high quality portfolio composition and a broad diversification strategy, then DSP BR Equity might just be the ideal fit to your portfolio. Consistency in performance across market cycles is the fund's trump card and has continuously managed to remain in the top quartile. The Fund Manager has constructed the fund's portfolio by combining the strategies adopted for DSP BR Small & Mid Cap and DSP BR Equity – both of which are leaders in their respective categories. Out of 79 stocks in the portfolio, 38 have an allocation of less than 1%. This gives adequate leeway to the Fund Manager to play the entire breadth of the market. The mid and small cap stocks in the portfolio are generally bought and hold with minimal churning, which in turn vindicates the fund manager's conviction in their quality and growth outlook. The fund was also able to weather the 2008 meltdown quite comfortably on account of its defensive move to hike the cash allocation.
