What are Sector / Thematic Finds

Why DSP?
 Sector funds focus on one area of the market, known as a sector, by investing in companies that operate
in the fund's chosen sector.

• A sector consists of one line of business that provides the same or similar product.

• Some common sectors include banking, pharma, information technology, real estate, energy, etc.

 Thematic funds are equity mutual funds that invest in stocks tied to a theme.

• These funds are more broad-based then sectoral funds, as they pick companies and sectors united
by an idea.

• For instance, an infrastructure theme fund will invest in capital / engineering goods, developers,
cement, power, steel among other sectors

Pharma & Healthcare

Medicine manufacturers, Diagnostic labs, hospitals, equipment manufacturers


Universe
 Healthcare has many sub sectors like domestic formulations, export of generic formulations,
bulk drugs/ APIs, hospitals, medical devices, diagnostics etc which have different drivers.
Importantly most of these sub-segments are not cyclical. A healthcare fund also gives
When exposure to global companies in segments like medical devices, innovative pharmaceutical
products, genome research, etc. where India has typically lagged.
should we
 A diversified equity fund may own 5-7% of its assets in the healthcare sector and this would
enter be typically spread across 3-5 stocks. In most cases these stocks would be part of
benchmarks and would possibly be part of the same industry i.e. generics which has the
largest market capitalization within the healthcare sector. However a healthcare focused
fund gives exposure to a wider range of businesses across market caps. As such a healthcare
fund gives better exposure to the healthcare theme. For e.g. in FY15-19 if a diversified fund
would have invested in the US generic focused companies and hence not made much return
in its healthcare investments. A healthcare focused fund would however have invested in
other segments also which would have delivered good returns.
 When there is a lot of uncertainty around the economy, generally healthcare proves to be
stable investment as demand is fairly stable and non-cyclical.
 The US generics segment is partly cyclical especially for the oral solids part of the business.
The time to get out of this theme is when
When you • one hears about large capex spends by companies (global as well as Indian)
• profits from large products start getting a multiple.
should sell  Regulatory actions by Indian government on pricing or by US FDA on facility inspections are
risks which investors need to keep in mind.

Always Keep In Mind

 Limit your exposure to sectoral /thematic funds


Why DSP?
 Sector and thematic funds are suitable for those who have an understanding and in-depth knowledge of
that particular sector or theme or advised by an trusted financial advisor

 Are cyclical in nature therefore one has to actively monitor. Will have higher volatility vs a diversified fund
(If one sector performs poorly, the fund focused on that sector will do so as well, without any offset from
investments in a sector that is performing well).

 For some sectors, global political scenarios / growth is an important variable to monitor

 Entry / Exit important – ideally one should enter in a bearish phase and exit when the whole world starts
talking and valuations are high vs history

 Don’t go by past returns when you invest in a sector or thematic fund. Instead, take a good look at the
opportunities ahead for that sector or theme.
