Changes in our FD strategy and new FD recommendations

โ€œWhen facts change, it is best to change your mind.โ€ It is not clear if this pragmatic statement was made by John Maynard Keynes or Winston Churchill.

Prime Stock Recommendation: A unique capital goods play

If you screen for this stock under the capital goods sector in any screener, chances are that you will miss it. Because it is not your regular capital goods company. Some databases classify it under โ€˜consumer durablesโ€™, while others called it a โ€˜computer and electronic manufacturerโ€™. This company is none of these entirely but still some of these. But this outlier stock is a worthy one in the capital goods space. Hereโ€™s why.

Prime Recommendation: The best fund in the balanced advantage category

The balanced advantage category (called the balanced advantage/dynamic asset allocation category or BA/DAA) has received a lot of attention, after a whopping collection of Rs 12,000 crore by SBI Balanced Advantage during its recent NFO. This category is mostly seen as one that delivers equity returns with less risk or one that can be used as an income generation option โ€“ neither of which are quite right. In this report we get into detail about one of our already recommended funds in this space, while also explaining when and how to use a fund in this category.
