Ekush First Unit Fund
Balanced portfolio of equity and debt securities.
Overview
This is an actively managed, open-ended mutual fund designed for investors who are willing to embrace risk in pursuit of enhanced returns. With a strategic tilt toward equities and a foundation in dynamic asset allocation, this fund emphasizes value investing—seeking companies that are trading below their intrinsic worth, yet offer solid fundamentals and future earnings potential. The asset allocation shifts dynamically across equity, fixed income, and cash positions based on market outlook, macroeconomic signals, and valuation trends.
Objective of the Fund
