Kotak ESG Exclusionary Strategy Fund managers
Managers now
| Manager | Return in the manager's time. The change in the plan's NAV from the day the manager took the fund over to the latest NAV; past a year, the yearly rate that would compound to the same change. | Benchmark over the same days. The change in the fund's benchmark index over the same days as the manager's return, worked out the same way, with the dividends of the index's companies added back. | Difference from the benchmark. The fund's return in the manager's time less its benchmark's over the same days, in percentage points. | Portfolio changed after the handover. How much of the portfolio was different three months after the manager took over: half the sum of every holding's change in weight, with each side's holdings scaled to add up to 100 so a move into cash does not count. | Portfolio changed before the handover. The same measure over the three months before the manager took over, since portfolios change anyway. | Assets the manager runs. The latest monthly size of every fund the manager runs now, added up; a fund run with others counts in full for each of its managers, and the line under it counts only the funds they run alone. | ||
