Investment Objective and Approach

The scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio predominantly consisting of equity and equity related instruments of large cap companies. Samco Large Cap Fund uses C.A.R.E Momentum Strategy which invests in large cap stocks that are showing momentum characteristics in Cross Sectional, Absolute, Revenue, and Earnings Momentum to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns.

The fund follows a sophisticated investment approach:

- C.A.R.E. Momentum Strategy: SAMCO Large Cap Fund uses a cutting-edge momentum-based strategy with SAMCO's proprietary C.A.R.E. Momentum system to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. It identifies large-cap stocks with strong momentum in Cross Sectional, Absolute, Revenue, and Earnings Momentum.

- Market Capitalization Focus: By focusing on the top 100 companies by market capitalization, the fund optimizes the portfolio and mitigates risks using derivatives and hedging during market volatility.

- Flexible Asset Allocation: During periods of anti-momentum, net equity exposure could go to 0% using arbitrage and hedging while in periods of momentum Gross and Net Equity exposure could go up to 100%. The scheme may invest up to 100% of its net assets in equity & equity related instruments. The net equity exposure could go to 0% to protect the downside risk.

- Behavioral Finance Approach: Momentum works due to behaviour biases of the investors in the financial markets. Investors are not always rational, they have limits to their control over emotions and are influenced by their own biases such as loss aversion, regret, anchoring and disposition biases. Because of all these human biases, there exists an opportunity in the momentum space which is more consistent and time-tested strategy to make an alpha in the stock market.
