Sundaram Dividend Yield Fund
The fund is tilted toward dividend-yielding blue-chips in financials and energy, positioning for stable income in a mature market. The sharp 3.5% jump into TREPS signals the manager is capturing elevated short-term rates while trimming auto exposure, suggesting caution on cyclicals despite their dividend appeal. With 40% in the top 10 holdings and a tactical cash buffer, this is a concentrated bet on India's dividend aristocrats rather than broad diversification.
