Investment Strategy: Most fund houses follow a specific investment strategy while selecting stocks for Equity Mutual Funds. Some of the key strategies include the below: Top-down Strategy Top-Down Approach Based on macroeconomic factors, a sector is chosen and the best stocks from that sector are selected. For example, if fund managers anticipate that the economy will grow sharply, they might purchase stocks in particular economic sectors they believe will do well. If the managers expect the economy to slump, it may spur them to sell stocks or purchase shares in defensive industries such as health care and consumer staples. Economy Sectors Company Bottom-up Strategy Company Sectors Economy Bottom-Up Approach A stock is selected post thorough research, and irrespective of the sector. In the Bottom-up approach, fund managers choose stocks based on the strength of an individual company, regardless of what is happening in the economy as a whole or the sector in which that company lies. A Bottom-up Fund manager can benefit from an individual company and sometimes find attractive investments, even in out-of-favor industries. It may carry more risk than top-down investing. *ICICI Bank Limited is a AMFI Registered Mutual Fund Distributor. Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risk.
