IIFL India Growth Fund has outperformed its benchmark Nifty50 over a 1-month, 3-month and 1-year period.

Trailing Returns (%)
  1-month 3-month 6-month 1-year
Fund 8.3 10.45 5.90 36.58
Nifty50 6.35 9.97 2.45 23
Category 6.72 10.82 4.88 31.08

The investment philosophy which the fund manager follows is to look for companies which are growing at a CAGR of 15-20% and are trading at a reasonable valuation. The scheme invests in 20-25 high conviction stocks rather than typical 50-70 stocks in a mutual funds portfolio. This philosophy has generated significant alpha. Moreover, the scheme has no exit load along with lowest expense ratio, ensuring liquidity, flexibility and higher return to investors.

The fund invests around 65% of its corpus in large-cap stocks, while 33% is invested in mid-cap stocks. As far as the sector allocation is concerned, the fund has a higher exposure to the finance sector. Since its inception, the fund has outperformed its benchmark on yearly basis for 99% of the weeks.
