Mahindra Pragati Bluechip Yojana -- Wealth Creating Proposition for Your Portfolio? (2024)

​​

MPBY will allocate its assets within the prescribed limits and is of the view that in terms of market capitalisation large-cap stocks constitutes approximately 70% of the total Market Cap. Besides a large-cap company has stable businesses, greater market share, quality of management, and the sustainability prospects. These are the companies with strong balance sheets and proven track record. Hence certain large-cap companies are also known as blue-chips and are capable of generating 'alpha'.

Mahindra Pragati Bluechip Yojana will focus on creating an agile portfolio that focuses on bluechip companies, pick stocks that are part of a stable group of top 100 companies, follow emerging trends and as per the economic dynamics.

Hence being an equity scheme, MPBY does carryrisk. But it's noteworthy that large-cap funds from the risk-return spectrum are considered to be the safest among equity funds.

If you have the stomach for moderately high risk, you may skew your equity portfolio to large-cap mutual fund schemes. When the equity markets turn turbulent, a pure large cap fund can arrest the downside risk better compared to their pure mid-cap counterparts and even large & mid-cap peers.
