Overweight larger overweight and underweight in stocks & sectors and Extent of overweight and underweight – in sector bands & sometimes being absent in certain benchmark sectors and stock bands will be narrower in Bluechip vs Focus – thus stocks closer to benchmark, yet active and not too passive GARP bias Blend of growth & value Investing style Benchmark Nifty 50 TRI Nifty 100 TRI 20
