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

To achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio with a strong tilt toward equity, favoring value stocks, while dynamically managing asset allocation to enhance returns and mitigate risk.

Investment Strategy

The fund targets value stocks, investing in companies trading below their intrinsic value for long-term growth and a margin of safety.
