Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between thematic and sector funds?

Sectoral funds invest only in companies of one sector without significant variety or diversifictaion. Thematic funds on the other hand invest in companies from different sectors that are tied to the theme idea driving the fund.

What is a thematic investment with examples?

You can decide to invest in ideas that support your convictions or pick creative trends that are becoming more and more popular. For instance, you might choose to invest in US robotics/AI startups or global fintech firms. Thematic investments include even more wide sectors like emerging markets.

 

What are the benefits of thematic investing?

Thematic funds are one of the riskiest mutual fund categories. But with high risks, can come high rewards if your chosen theme starts performing exceptionally. One of the main benefits of thematic funds is that they offer considerable diversification. Since they are essentially equity-oriented mutual funds, the portfolio is diversified across various picks from the stock universe. That apart, thematic funds have the option of investing across different sectors and diversifying or adding different options to the portfolio. Moreover, since the portfolio is professionally managed, you don’t face the hassle of picking the right stocks for capital appreciation.

How does thematic investing work?

Thematic investing focuses on specific trends, ideas, or sectors, allowing mutual funds to build portfolios aligned with these themes, offering investors exposure to targeted areas of the market.

How long should I stay invested in Thematic Mutual Funds?

The ideal investment horizon for thematic mutual funds may vary, but a long-term approach of at least 3-5 years is generally recommended to ride out market fluctuations and benefit from the theme's potential growth.

Are Thematic Mutual Funds high risk?

Thematic funds can carry higher risk due to their focused nature, as they concentrate on specific sectors or trends, making them more susceptible to market volatility compared to diversified funds.

What kind of returns can I earn from Thematic Mutual Funds?

Returns from thematic mutual funds depend on the success of the chosen theme; some may offer significant gains during favorable market conditions, while others may face challenges.

Should I invest in Thematic Mutual Funds?

Investors should consider their risk tolerance, investment goals, and the specific theme's outlook before investing in thematic mutual funds, ensuring alignment with their overall financial strategy.

Is it safe to invest in thematic funds?

Investing in thematic funds carries some risk but is generally safer than sectoral funds. This is because thematic funds spread investments across multiple related sectors or themes (usually 5-6 sub-segments), which provides some diversification. However, your portfolio could suffer if the theme or sector doesn't perform well. Still, this risk is lower compared to sectoral funds, which focus on a single sector. It must be noted that diversified funds are the safest because they spread investments across various sectors.

What are the risks involved in investing in thematic funds?

Thematic funds carry risks mainly because they focus on specific themes or trends, which can be volatile. If the chosen theme doesn't perform well, the fund's value can drop significantly. Unlike diversified funds that spread investments across various sectors, thematic funds have less diversification. This unique investment approach exposes them to market fluctuations.

Additionally, these funds require careful research and timing, which makes them less suitable for inexperienced investors. While they offer an opportunity to earn higher returns, the associated risks are also higher compared to more diversified investment options.

How much money should I invest in thematic funds?

Famous value investors like Warren Buffett believe that you should invest in a sector or theme only if you understand it and believe it will perform well. He recommends limiting your investment in any single sector to no more than 10% of your total portfolio. Such a limitation helps manage risk by ensuring that your investments are not overly concentrated in one area.
