Samco Special Opportunities Fund - Direct Plan - Growth

The investment objective of the scheme is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of securities that are involved in special situations such as restructurings, turnarounds, spin-offs, mergers & acquisitions, new trends, new & emerging sectors, digitization, premiumization, and other special corporate actions. These situations often create mispricings and undervalued opportunities that the fund aims to exploit for potential capital appreciation.Read more

Scheme details

Investment objective
The investment objective of the scheme is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of securities that are involved in special situations such as restructurings, turnarounds, spin-offs, mergers & acquisitions, new trends, new & emerging sectors, digitization, premiumization, and other special corporate actions. These situations often create mispricings and undervalued opportunities that the fund aims to exploit for potential capital appreciation.
