MUMBAI, India - Oct. 21, 2016 - PRLog -- Mumbai, 06 Sept 2016: Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company today announces the launch of a new open ended equity scheme "Motilal Oswal MOSt Focused Dynamic Equity Fund".

New Fund Offer Opens on 6th September 2016 and closes on 20th September 2016.

Highlights of Motilal Oswal MOSt Focused Dynamic Equity Fund:
•An Equity fund that dynamically calibrates level of equity allocation depending on market valuations; allocates less in equities when market valuations appear expensive and more when market valuations appear cheap
•Equity component to have a focused equity portfolio with select stocks across market capitalization and fixed income component to consist of high quality low duration papers
•Market valuations for dynamic allocation will be indicated by the proprietary Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) which is calculated taking into account Price/Earnings, Price/Book and Dividend yield of Nifty 50 Index. The MOVI helps gauge attractiveness of the equity market.
•Depending on the level of the Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) allocation will vary between Equities, equity arbitrage (using combination of stocks and derivatives) and fixed income.
•Rebalancing of portfolio on fortnightly basis

Speaking on the launch of Motilal Oswal MOSt Focused Dynamic Equity Fund, Mr. Aashish Somaiyaa
Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company, said, "While over long periods of time equities do deliver in line with corporate earnings, it's a known fact that the volatility in share prices is way higher than volatility of earnings themselves. This volatility in share prices results in emotional response of greed in rising markets and fear in falling markets. Mostly these responses are way more exaggerated on upside as well as downside and when evaluated in hindsight once data plays out; one rues that they were disproportionate to changes in corporate earnings. A fund like dynamic equity fund enables the AMC to focus on its core philosophy of buying high quality stocks and holding on to them, while the decision of booking profits or increasing exposure in those very holdings is left to an unemotional market valuation indicator which has no dependence on vagaries of human psychology. Hence, we are confident of capturing the best opportunities for our investors."
