The basic idea of investing is to diversify your portfolio rather than putting all your eggs in one basket. While it is critical to distribute investment over a variety of stocks and sectors to minimise the overall portfolio risk, simply increasing the number of stocks in an equity portfolio reduces the performance beyond a certain point. In fact, a portfolio with far too many stocks and lesser proportion may dilute the benefits of performing stocks.
Composition of Focused Funds
Focused funds, as the name implies, invest solely in high-quality stocks with the potential to generate wealth in the long term. The goal of this fund and fund manager is to build a successful portfolio by limiting investments to high conviction stocks with optimal risk-to-reward ratios. A focused fund can invest in a maximum of 30 stocks with a minimum of 65 per cent of the portfolio in equity and equity-related securities, according to the mandate issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Focused funds can invest in a wide range of market capitalizations, including large, mid-cap and small-cap companies.
While conventional equity funds do not have a limit on the maximum number of stocks they may invest in, focused funds concentrate and keep their basket to 30 stocks. According to studies, once a portfolio is diversified over 20-25 stocks, unsystematic risk as measured by standard deviation reaches ideal levels. A focused fund is the only mutual fund with such restrictions, while other mutual funds are allowed to invest in up to 100 stocks.
