Sundaram Equity Savings Fund
The fund maintains an equity-heavy tilt with nearly four-fifths deployed in stocks, positioning for growth while the hybrid structure provides downside cushioning. Banking dominance—representing a quarter of the portfolio—reflects conviction in financial sector stability, though the recent exit from BPCL and shift out of TREPS signal a tactical pivot toward direct equity exposure over safer alternatives. The 12 new entrants, including ONGC and Vedanta, suggest the manager is selectively hunting for value in cyclicals and infrastructure, balancing the large-cap safety of Airtel and Reliance.
