Investment Focus

Franklin India Opportunities Fund is an open end diversified equity scheme that seeks to generate capital appreciation by capitalizing on the long-term growth opportunities in the Indian economy. The scheme would invest in:

- Companies that operate in the space where India has a strong advantage
- Globally competitive Indian companies that have the potential to participate in global opportunities as well
- Companies that are under valued, and those that have high growth potential on account of the strong Indian economy

Investment Strategy

Franklin India Opportunities Fund will be relatively aggressively managed in comparison to a typical diversified equity scheme, taking a concentrated exposure to few sectors based on their growth potential at different points in time.

For instance, the single sector exposure in the scheme could be as high as 25% of the assets or 50% over the sector’s market weight whichever is higher. Moreover, the top three sectors could account for 80% to 90% of the assets, based on market opportunities. However, the scheme will maintain a diversified portfolio across stocks, with single stock exposure restricted to 10% of the total portfolio. Thus, from a risk-reward perspective, the scheme would be positioned between a diversified equity scheme and a sector scheme.
