The open-ended scheme aims to generate capital income for the long term by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity-based and equity-related instruments. It will try to maintain at least 65% of its assets in these instruments. It will also look actively to invest in companies with lower dividend yields but consistent payout growth. Investors wanting to invest in companies paying dividends with robust growth potential can invest in this fund.
SBI Mutual Fund, CBO, and Deputy MD, DP Singh, said that investors believe that high dividend yield companies provide regular income. However, many are strong businesses with high growth potential. These are companies with long-term growth potential. The fund is an opportunity for investors that want steady long-term cashflows. First-time and long-term wealth-creating investors can opt to invest in this fund. The NIFTY 500 TRI will be the benchmark.
