The investment strategy of the fund focuses on 3 pillars: Innovation: Companies using innovation to enhance productivity or improve environmental/social impact; Growth: Companies with significant growth potential, demonstrated track record of developing the market and/or gaining market share; Quality: Financially strong companies with market leadership, robust business models, quality management & corporate governance.

C, Fund Manager, UTI AMC, said, “UTI Innovation Fund marks a significant step forward for investors in navigating the ever-growing landscape of investment opportunities. It is a unique portfolio that is true-to-label, investing predominantly in innovative businesses and disruptors. In an era of rapid technological advancements and evolving market dynamics, it’s an opportunity to embrace innovation, adapt to market dynamics, and participate in potential wealth generators that could grow in a non-linear fashion.”
Investors may consider investing in this fund with a minimum horizon of 3-5 years. Having said so, to benefit from potential non-linear growth of the portfolio companies through the entire cycle, investors may consider remaining invested for much longer periods.
