Kotak Special Opportunities Fund
Kotak Special Opportunities is tilted toward cyclical recovery plays—particularly financials, autos, and select pharma—positioning for economic acceleration. The portfolio maintains modest diversification across 37 holdings while keeping top-10 concentration modest, suggesting disciplined stock-picking rather than theme-chasing. The recent swap of Midwest for Ola Electric signals a shift toward emerging structural opportunities, though the simultaneous trimming of auto heavyweights Hero and Maruti hints at valuation caution after recent outperformance.
