Security and multiplication are the criteria under which investments are made. But
market fluctuations are generally unpredictable. While the reasons for this are many,
what matters is that your investments keep performing profitably.
Hence we bring you the BEP – Large cap focus portfolio, where investments will be
made in mis-priced large cap stocks that have a high growth potential and can withstand
macro level risks to sustain in an adverse environment. Large Caps are dominant players
in their respective sectors, and hence have the strength and the ability to maintain
margins in a tough operating environment.

companies
• The portfolio will primarily invest in scrips which are mis-priced, but have a very
high growth potential over a period of time

Why Invest through us? | Why Invest in India?

According to the World Bank, India was already the fourth largest
economy in 2001 in terms of Purchasing Power Parity. With a
consistently high GDP, and a buoyant and dynamic economy, India
continues to outpace other economies in the region. According to the
IMF, India has accounted for around a fifth of Asian growth and a tenth
of world growth over the past two years.
Indian companies are making their mark globally with remarkable
progress being made in IT, ITES, Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology and a
host of other sectors. There is reason enough to believe that these sectors
will source the stock markets as a prospective avenue to source capital for
expansion plans.
India has a vibrant domestic credit market with an active corporate and
government bond market, interest rate and credit derivative markets.
More importantly, the interest rates in India are determined by the
market.
The Bombay Stock Exchange, founded in the 1870s, is the oldest
stockexchange in Asia. With 6,000 companies listed from every
 imaginable industry, investors have a plethora of options to participate in
India's growth. Most FII'S have started investing heavily in the Indian
stock markets and with most industries giving healthy returns on
investments, indications are that the markets will continue to perform
above expectations.
With over 20 million investors, India boasts of the third highest investor
base in the world, unthinkable till a few years ago.
