Fund Brief

SBI FMCG Fund is the former name of the SBI Consumption Opportunities Fund. It is an open-ended fund that invests in equities in the consumption-oriented sector and other consumption-related instruments. The fund invests in stocks of companies that sell products directly to their consumers. 

The State Bank of India Mutual Fund House (SBIMF) offers the fund and has around INR 732.96 crores of assets under management (AUM) at present. It invests 80% of its fund in the consumption sector and the rest 20% in other minor sectors of money instruments.

The major shareholders of this fund are Page Industries Ltd, ITC Ltd, Bharti Airtel Ltd, Relaxo Footwears Ltd, and Emami Ltd.

Different variants of plans under SBI FMCG fund are:

  • Growth option – Dividend earned is automatically reinvested resulting in compound returns
  • Income Distribution and Cash Withdrawal (IDCW) option – Dividend earned can be withdrawn if the investor selects

Further, it should be mentioned that the Regular Plan is for those investors who require a distributor/mediator for buying stocks with the fund. On the other hand, the Direct Plan is for those investors who don't need a distributor and directly buy stocks along with the fund. The absence of mediators ensures higher returns of up to 1.07% in the direct plan.

Investment Objective

The SBI FMCG Fund is a long-time investment plan that aims to increase its investor’s capital gain. The fund is now known as Consumption Opportunities Fund. It invests in the best opportunities of equities in the consumption market, including consumer durables, non-durables, textiles, entertainment, hotels, and travel services. 

As the demand for consumer goods never falls, the future of consumption-oriented funds is beneficial. For diversifying investments, the fund profoundly analyzes the trends and avoids allocating money to companies that may incur losses. Hedging is a marketing strategy to tackle or cut probable losses. 

SBIMF experts do their best to avoid risks to a greater extent as the equity market is never free of risks. Hence, there is no 100% assurance of meeting investment objectives. Investors must be aware of capital loss.
