For instance, the market has been tumbling for the past few days again after rising for a brief period. The investors seem to be worried about market dynamics. On the home ground, while there are different economic issues popping up affecting the market, the geopolitical situation is also affecting the market, as every day there is something happening either in the West or in the Middle East.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a strategic way to bypass these market fluctuations to some extent and optimize your returns is by strategically allocating funds across market capitalization. This is what <strong>Sundaram Focused Fund &#8211; Direct Plan-Growth<\/strong> does. We will talk about the performance, risks, objectives, and a lot of other aspects of this fund, which as an investor you should know before investing in it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sundaram-focused-fund-direct-growth-fund-management-and-objectives\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sundaram_Focused_Fund_Direct-Growth_Fund_Management_and_Objectives\"><\/span><strong>Sundaram Focused Fund Direct-Growth Fund Management and Objectives<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sundaram Focused Fund Direct-Growth<\/strong> invests across equities irrespective of their market capitalization. Basically, it allocates funds according to the market scenario, for instance, if the market is in a bull run, then it shifts most of the assets of the fund towards mid-cap and small-cap, while when the market is down, it invests more into largecaps. So, there is flexibility in the allocation of funds, and it is categorized as a flexicap fund as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sundaram Focused Fund Direct Plan-Growth <\/strong>is managed by \u2013&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ashwin Jain: <\/strong>He has been managing the fund since 21 October 2024. Before joining Sundaram Asset Management Company, he was associated with ICICI Prudential Asset Management Co., HCL Technologies, Merrill Lynch, Irevana, and others. He holds a Bachelor&#8217;s in Engineering and a Post-Graduation Diploma in Management.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Does the Sundaram Focused Fund Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sundaram Focused Fund<\/strong> invests in equities and equity-related instruments of domestic companies. The stocks are picked from different market capitalization categories in order to align with market sentiment. For instance, if the market is down, then small and midcap stocks tend to be more volatile. This increases the risk of the investment; on the other hand, the largecap stocks remain comparatively stable when the market crashes. So, during a market crash, or bear trend, the assets of the fund get allocated to largecap stocks, and when the market revives, it enters a bull phase, then again the fund manager shifts the fund more towards the small and mid-cap aligning with the investment objective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, the fund remains more optimized and helps in generating better returns, and minimizes the risk quotient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-performance-and-returns-as-of-25-august-2025-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_and_Returns_As_of_25_August_2025\"><\/span>Performance and Returns (As of 25 August 2025)&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a snapshot of the returns of the <strong>Sundaram Focused Fund <\/strong>and a comparison with its peers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Time Frame<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sundaram Focused Fund Direct-Growth (%)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Category Average&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6 Month<\/td><td>9.62<\/td><td>13.77<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 Month<\/td><td>3.42<\/td><td>2.61<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Month<\/td><td>0.84<\/td><td>0.54<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Day<\/td><td>0.25<\/td><td>0.24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YTD<\/td><td>1.23<\/td><td>2.30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Year<\/td><td>-1.14<\/td><td>0.47<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 Year<\/td><td>15.38<\/td><td>17.67<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5 Year<\/td><td>19.75<\/td><td>20.54<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7 Year<\/td><td>15.01<\/td><td>14.53<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10 Year<\/td><td>14.69<\/td><td>14.77<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As can be understood from the table above, the fund has been underperforming compared to its peers, as the returns for most of the time frame are lower than that of the category average.
