Kotak Equity Fund of Funds will be rechristened as Kotak Asset Allocator Fund with effect from September 20. Following the name change, the fund’s investment objective will also be modified. The fund will now seek to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in specified open-ended equity and debt schemes of Kotak Mutual Fund. The equity allocation will be based on a combination of trailing PE ratio of CNX Nifty, Yield Gap Analysis and Momentum of CNX Nifty. Its performance will now be benchmarked to the CRISIL Balanced Fund Index.
