What is Versa India Equity?

Versa India Equity offers you a simple, efficient way to invest in India’s dynamic market. It is also known as the AHAM World Series – India Equity Fund (MYR-Hedged), a feeder fund that channels its investments into the Franklin India Fund (Target Fund), managed by Franklin Templeton — one of the world’s leading asset managers.

By investing, you gain an efficient way to tap into India’s dynamic market with an initial investment of RM1,000.

What is a feeder fund?

A feeder fund is a type of fund that allows investors to pool their money and invest almost entirely into another fund, known as the target fund.

The target fund is professionally managed by experienced fund managers, who make day-to-day investment decisions such as selecting which stocks, bonds, or other assets to buy and sell.

By investing in a feeder fund, you can access a larger fund and tap into the investment expertise of other global fund managers and strategies for your portfolio.
