Sundaram Mutual Fund has entered Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) business with the launch of maiden new fund offer (NFO), the Select Equity Ex-Top 100 Long Short Fund.

The investment strategy will invest in equities, with the flexibility to include limited short exposure in equity through derivative instruments of ex-Top 100 stocks.

The fund’s investment universe will includes companies from 101 to 750 by market capitalisation, predominantly high growth mid- and small-cap companies. The NFO opens for subscription on October 21. The minimum investment in the fund will be ₹10 lakh.

Anand Radhakrishnan, Managing Director, Sundaram Asset Management Company, said the domestic economic transformation will be driven by manufacturing, technology, urban consumption and financial inclusion. Many businesses with high growth potential are largely represented only in the small-cap space.

The Select Equity Ex-Top 100 Long Short Fund will have a concentrated portfolio of 25-40 stocks that may benefit from these structural shifts and pursue opportunities that align with the investment objective, he added.

The fund will target megatrends and identify related stocks, emerging leaders in manufacturing, premiumisation, technology, with the flexibility to take short positions either to hedge and/or seek additional returns.
