Here’s a fund – an open-ended equity scheme, which can invest 80-100% in equity and equity-related securities of companies having pioneering innovations theme*.

But there is something more interesting about the Kotak Pioneer Fund.

Within this equity allocation of 80-100%, the scheme may invest up to maximum of 35% in units of overseas mutual funds schemes or exchange traded funds which have a similar investment objective or strategy/foreign securities having pioneering innovation theme.

So effectively, this fund aims to give you the advantage of investment in both local and global names.
