Should You Buy

Earlier known as DHFL Pramerica Midcap Opportunities, the fund is now run solely under the banner of PGIM India since its 100% acquisition of the erstwhile joint venture. The change of ownership was followed by strengthening of internal processes under new CIO Srinivas Ravuri. Under its present fund manager, the fund places firm emphasis on low debt, strong cash flows and clean corporate governance. It avoids bets on sectors with high or rising competitive intensity. The fund manager prefers running an index agnostic portfolio. While it struggled for years till 2018, its performance has picked up since, boasting a much superior risk-return profile in its category. A few more years of consistent outperformance will cement its emergence as a worthy pick.
