Reading the financial headlines these days is to confront a grim economic scenario which threatens to become even grimmer in times to come. The global pandemic that has put pressure on practically every individual’s finances. There are a few of us who aren't currently feeling the pinch; confronting the need to tighten our belts. Safeguarding our personal finances becomes all the more important in these troubled and uncertain times. It is these precise aspects which seem to have been kept in mind when creating the new Axis Global Equity Alpha Fund of Fund.
 
Why accessing global companies makes sense right now
 
Right now, the COVID-19 pandemic has ensured that we are all seeing unprecedented economic turmoil. As a result of lockdowns and the need to continue social distancing, several sectors such as hospitality, travel, fitness etc. have all but ground to a halt. Many other sectors have slowed to almost comatose sluggishness. Job losses across the board mean that everyone is hurting right now. 
 
While some number crunchers seem optimistic about the economy in the long term, others seem far more pessimistic about a recovery. Investing in mutual funds may help in effective savings and wealth management. Intelligent portfolio construction focuses on consistency, adjusts for risk and delivers consistent returns.
 
Now given that many of us may be somewhat leery about the recovery of Indian industry, it makes sense to look farther afield for prudent investment and consequent wealth creation. And that is why an international or global mutual fund makes so much sense right now; consider these facts:
 
  • According to Bloomberg, home bias is known to affect investor portfolio and an international fund helps ameliorate this problem
  • Global investing offers access to opportunities and themes that may still be unavailable domestically
  • A fund that invests in both Indian and global entities ensures better diversification and risk adjusted returns. 
     
Axis Global Equity Alpha Fund of Fund
 
Examining the fund features and parameters, here is why the new Axis Global Equity Alpha Fund of Fund impresses; offering reassurance in these troubled times:
 
  1. The scheme invests in the Schroder International Fund Global Equity Alpha (underlying fund) rather than holding stocks directly in its own portfolio.
  2. It offers access to investment in companies with scale, customer base and impact that few Indian entities can equal
  3. This makes it possible to take advantage of different international markets performing at different times 
  4. The fund leverages Schroder's global footprint 
  5. Stock selection is based on integrating ESG and fundamental risk analysis
  6. The portfolio construction focuses on risk adjusted returns while offering investors the engagement of active ownership
  7. The minimum application of Rs. 5,000 and multiples of Re 1 thereafter makes this flexible and accessible for the modest investor as well as the more ambitious investor
     
All things considered, the Axis Global Equity Alpha Fund of Fund inspires hope for a global exposure.
