Frequently Asked Questions

What does the T.I.M.E acronym stand for and why these specific areas? +

The acronym stands for Technological Innovation, Manufacturing, and Exports. These three pillars are viewed as the primary engines of India’s next decade of growth. Technology focuses on the digitization of traditional businesses, Manufacturing targets the shift of global production to India, and Exports highlight the competitive advantage of Indian goods and services in global markets.

Is this strategy restricted to specific market capitalizations? +

While the strategy is thematic, it follows a multi-cap approach. This allows the fund managers to invest in large-cap industry leaders for stability, while also identifying niche mid-cap and small-cap companies that might be specialized "pure plays" in manufacturing or tech-exporting segments.

How does the T.I.M.E Strategy differ from a standard IT or Industrial fund? +

A standard IT or Industrial fund is sector-specific, meaning it only buys companies within those silos. T.I.M.E is a thematic strategy that looks at the intersection of these fields. For instance, it might invest in a manufacturing company that uses high-end technological innovation to export its products globally, capturing the synergy between all three pillars rather than just one sector.

What are the primary risks associated with this thematic approach? +

Since the portfolio is concentrated around three specific themes, it may carry higher volatility than a diversified multi-cap fund. Performance can be impacted by changes in global trade policies, shifts in technology cycles, or fluctuations in international demand for Indian exports. It is typically suited for investors who already have a diversified core portfolio.

What is the suggested investment duration for this portfolio? +

The themes of manufacturing shifts and technological adoption are long-term structural trends that play out over several years. Consequently, an investment horizon of 5 years or more is generally recommended to capture the full potential of these economic transitions and to ride out short-term market fluctuations.
