Large Cap companies are the 1st to 100th company in terms of market capitalization. Large Cap Funds are those equity-oriented mutual funds that invest at least 80% of their funds in large cap companies.

It is a strategy to invest in winning stocks which are showing strong momentum. Momentum stocks are such that exhibit positive price momentum – based on the phenomenon that stocks which have performed well in the past relative to other stocks (winners) continue to perform well in the future, and stocks that have performed relatively poorly (losers) continue to perform poorly. The momentum strategy is based on buy high, sell higher or alternatively, cut your losses and let your winners run.

Momentum works due to behaviour biases of the investors in the financial markets. Investors are not always rational, they have limits to their control over emotions and are influenced by their own biases such as loss aversion, regret, anchoring and disposition biases. Because of all these human biases, there exists an opportunity in the momentum space which is more consistent and time-tested strategy to make an alpha in the stock market.

SAMCO Large Cap Fund uses a cutting-edge momentum-based strategy with SAMCO's proprietary C.A.R.E. Momentum system to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. It identifies large-cap stocks with strong momentum in Cross Sectional, Absolute, Revenue, and Earnings Momentum. By focusing on the top 100 companies by market capitalization, the fund optimizes the portfolio and mitigates risks using derivatives and hedging during market volatility.

Samco Large Cap Fund uses C.A.R.E Momentum Strategy which invests in large cap stocks that are showing momentum characteristics in Cross Sectional, Absolute, Revenue, and Earnings Momentum to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns.

The scheme may invest up to 100% of its net assets in equity & equity related instruments. The net equity exposure could go to 0% to protect the downside risk. This fund combines an active momentum strategy along with investing in large caps which will generate alpha for investors over the long term

It is a thematic fund that invests in stocks that exhibit momentum characteristics and sell those stocks when those stocks lose momentum.

We are only investing in the high-quality efficient businesses and we try to invest in them at an efficient price and hence it is assumed that we will not have to make too many changes in the portfolio

It will have 25 of the best businesses across the globe with at least 65% of businesses from India and 35% from across the globe.

It is simple 3-step strategy that we follow at the fund level -

• Step 1 - Invest in HexaShield tested EFFICIENT companies.
• Step 2 - Invest in these companies at an EFFICIENT price.
• Step 3 - Maintain an EFFICIENT turnover ratio.

Voluntary dealing cost is something that is deducted from the NAV and occurs due to excessive turnover or changes in the portfolio of the fund. Samco Flexi Cap aims at keeping this cost to a minimum by reducing the change in the portfolio

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a United States Federal Law, aimed at prevention of tax evasion by United States taxpayers through use of offshore accounts. The provisions of FATCA essentially provide for 30% withholding tax on US source payments made to Foreign Financial Institutions unless they enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (US IRS) to provide information about accounts held with them by USA persons or entities (firms/companies/trusts) controlled by USA persons.

Equity Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS), also known as tax-saver fund, is an open ended Equity mutual fund scheme that invest primary in equity related products. However, these ELSS mutual funds have a three-year mandatory lock in term, which is the shortest lock in period if compared to all other products that are available under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Investors who wish to invest for a minimum of 3 years and are looking for higher return potential, plus the added benefit to save tax under section 80C can invest in ELSS Tax Saver Fund. At the same time, the investors should also prepare for a certain amount of risk attached to it. This is because of the equity exposure in the portfolio. Therefore, ELSS mutual funds are best suited for investors who understand equity asset class risk. These tax saver funds offer higher returns potential when compared to other tax saving schemes.

The following are the critical factors that must be considered by investors before they invest in ELSS Tax saver fund:

• Investment horizon: The investor must have a three-year investment horizon to contemplate investing in ELSS funds. To limit market volatility, the equity exposure of ELSS funds necessitates a longer investment horizon.
• Returns: ELSS funds do not give guaranteed returns as they are wholly dependent on the performance of the underlying securities.

Yes, ELSS has a lock-in period of three years. This means one cannot withdraw their money before the said tenure ends. However, ELSS has the shortest lock-in period as compared to other similar tax-saving investments currently such as 5-year Fixed Deposits (five years), National Savings Certificate (five years), Public Provident Fund (15 years), etc.

• Dual benefit: ELSS funds are the only type of funds in the Indian market, that give the dual benefit of a tax rebate and wealth appreciation. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, who fall in the higher income tax brackets, can save up to Rs 46,800 in a year if they invest Rs 1.5 lakh per annum in ELSS and are in the 30% income tax bracket. However, Investor will get a maximum tax deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh per year in ELSS under Section 80C even if they invest more than this amount.
• Shortest lock-in: Currently, ELSS has the shortest lock-in period of three years under Section 80C of Income Tax Act 1961.
• Potentially higher returns: Unlike ELSS where return is market linked, other 80C investments like PPF or FDs are fixed income products. ELSS has the potential to generate significantly higher wealth in a medium to long-term investment horizon.

The redemption proceeds of ELSS are not entirely tax-free. The long-term capital gains of up to Rs 1,00,000 a year are tax-free, and any gains above this limit attract a long-term capital gains tax at the rate of 10% plus applicable cess and surcharge.

The investment objective of the scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation through investments made predominantly in equity and equity related instruments. However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the scheme would be achieved.

The Fund's strategy will endeavor to have a predominantly higher allocation to mid and small cap companies which will be selected through focusing on the fundamentals of the business, the industry structure, the quality of management, sensitivity to economic factors, the financial strength of the company and the key earnings drivers. The scheme will invest in about 30-40 scripts to ensure adequate diversification and reduced risk.

All manufactured products go through thorough quality tests before they ever reach the customers. We are the first fund house to apply the same level of quality testing to our investment processes so that our investor's money is invested in the high quality efficient companies

They broadly exhibit two attributes -

1. They can survive during downturns in the economy or during a global crisis like the 2008 financial meltdown and the recent Covid-19 pandemic.
2. When an economy is growing, these companies turn into compounding machines with higher rates of growth in earnings as well as sales.

An investor must maintain minimum balance/ investment of Rs. 25,000/- in the opted source scheme at the time of registration of TimerSTP.

The Base Installment Amount is the installment amount that is mentioned while registering for TimerSTP. Minimum base instalment amount is Rs 1000 and in multiples of Re 1, but this is bare minimum amount, however it is recommended to mention base installment as 1/12 of the total amount to be transferred to the Target Equity Scheme. The processing of installment amount will be based on opted date/ day of multiplier of EMOSI value in case the base computation amount is less than Rs. 100, then the installment will be considered as Rs. 100. If arrived amount is in decimals the same will be rounding off in nearest rupee. For example, if an investor has invested Rs. 120,000 in source scheme, he can mention Rs. 10,000 (1/12 of target investment in the Equity Scheme) as base installment for monthly frequency of TimerSTP.

The Multiplier is the “Number of Times” of the installment amount to be transferred to target equity scheme. It will be within the range of “0.01X” to “6X” of the base installment. For example, If Investor registered TimerSTP with the base installment of Rs. 10,000, the multiplier amount can be from Rs. 100 (0.01X multiplier) to Rs. 60,000 (6X multiplier).

The amount of transfer to the target equity scheme is based on the latest Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) levels which is a proprietary model of Samco Asset Management Pvt Limited (the AMC). However, in any case the TimerSTP instalment amount will not exceed 6x of the base instalment amount as per the multiplier selected.

Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) levels computed by the AMC is a proprietary model of Samco Asset Management Pvt Limited (the AMC). The EMOSI is derived by assigning different weights such as Price to Earnings (PE), G-sec yields, moving average divergences and / or other fundamental and technical factors as may be determined by the AMC from time to time.

The investors have option of Weekly, Monthly and Quarterly frequency for transfer of funds from the eligible source schemes to eligible target equity schemes.

In such a case the TimerSTP will be registered (the default) till December 31, 2099.
