Sundaram Balanced Advantage Fund
The fund maintains an aggressive equity tilt of 74.5%, betting on sustained market strength while keeping meaningful sovereign exposure as a volatility buffer. Banking dominance—concentrated in ICICI, HDFC, and Kotak—signals conviction in financial sector resilience, though the top-5 concentration at 24% warrants attention for risk-conscious investors. Recent portfolio churn adding PSU plays like ONGC and Coal India suggests the manager is rotating toward cyclical recovery themes, pivoting away from consumer discretionary holdings like Trent and spirits names.
