Ans: This particular investment scheme primarily puts money into big company's stocks.

Over the past 3 to 5 years, this fund hasn't done as well as we'd like compared to a standard benchmark. However, if you are concerned about the fund's recent underperformance or if you need to access your money in the near term, you may consider exiting the fund.

The fund managers have been putting a lot of emphasis on specific stocks they believe in for the long term, but this approach hasn't worked out well since 2021 till date.

One of the reasons for the fund's underperformance is its heavy investments in sectors like automobiles and banks. Some specific stocks like Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bajaj FinServ didn't perform as expected.

Overall, this fund didn't provide a good balance of protection during market downturns and gains during market upswings.
