Do you see a market crash in the near future?
I don't see a major market crash in the near future. The long term trend is still up. However, after the smart rally we have seen in the last few weeks, one can expect a short correction of about 5-7 per cent in the near future.
What is the strategic and tactical orientation of your fund?
Birla Sunlife Equity fund is positioned as a multi-cap fund with a growth oriented investment style. Tactically, the fund takes about 25 -30 per cent exposure with a medium term view (mainly in mid caps) to ride certain sectoral trends and growth momentum. It also takes a certain amount of exposure in the sunrise sectors with a long-term view.
