- Every economy goes through growth phases - periods of rising growth, that begins to decline after a peak; only to rise again from a bottom slump.
- This ‘expansion’ and ‘contraction’ is cyclical. Each phase favours growth in different sectors and opens different cyclical opportunities. (For example – the pandemic opened up tremendous opportunities in the healthcare and IT sector)
- This calls for a unique investing style – ‘Business cycle-based investing’
Presenting Aditya Birla Sun Life
Business Cycle Fund
- An open-ended equity scheme following business cycles-based investing theme.
- This scheme seeks to identify upcoming cyclical opportunities by estimating:
- The changes in cyclical phase of the economy
- Favorable sectors and opportunities based on the specific economic phase
- To ultimately build a portfolio of industry leaders within these identified opportunities
- The key focus is to apply fund manager expertise to pre-empt these cyclical phases and identify these opportunities before they present themselves
Why should you invest in this fund?
- Make your portfolio conscious of business cycles Different cyclical phases
tend to favour different sectors – in a contraction phase for example defensive
sectors such as consumer staples and healthcare that are essential tend to
outperform; whereas in an expansion phase, opportunities open up in other
non-defensive sectors that have discretionary demand.
By focusing on identifying these opportunities in advance, this fund has the potential for growth through all business cycles. - By focusing on identifying these opportunities in advance, this fund has the potential for growth through all business cycles.
