| 2025 Q4 | Jan 7, 2026 | ITUS Capital | 0.0% | 6.6% | CUB.NS, DRREDDY.NS, EICHERMOT.NS, ERIS.NS, HDFCAMC.NS, HDFCBANK.NS, HDFCLIFE.NS, HINDCOPPER.NS, HINDZINC.NS, ICICIBANK.NS, ICICIGI.NS, NAVINFLUOR.NS, PAYTM.NS, PBFINTECH.NS, PIRAMALP.NS, SBIN.NS, SRF.NS, SWIGGY.NS, TITAN.NS, VEDL.NS | Bottom Up, earnings, growth, healthcare, India, Mining, Multi Cap, selectivity | The fund maintains an overweight position in mining and metals, driven by rising demand for copper in manufacturing and batteries. Performance was largely driven by strong stock selection within the sector, though they remain cautious on incremental additions at current valuations above long-term averages. Despite a challenging year due to tariff-related concerns and adverse headlines from the US, many healthcare businesses continue to invest meaningfully in their core franchises and R&D capabilities. The fund's exposure is aligned toward companies where earnings quality and long-term visibility remain intact. The fund's exposure spans banks, NBFCs, and select non-lending financial institutions. They remain opportunistic in adding risk selectively, guided by valuation discipline and balance sheet strength, with a bottoms-up outlook on lending growth. The fund's consumer exposure is less focused on brands and more on businesses that control distribution channels. They believe this segment has potential to drive incremental growth as consumption normalizes and pricing power becomes more relevant. | View |
