Ability to contain volatility, willingness to quickly increase cash when markets are turbulent and readiness to also up mid-cap exposure a bit in rallying markets such as the present one has made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Axis-LT-Equity-Fund-G-?c=8408\" target=\"_blank\">Axis Long Term Equity<\/a> among the most noticeable funds in the tax-saving space.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Axis-LT-Equity-Fund-G-?c=8408\" target=\"_blank\">Axis Long Term Equity<\/a> has an enviable record of beating its benchmark, S&amp;P BSE 200, 100 per cent of the times on a daily rolling one-year return basis over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>Such consistency was possible with a two-pronged approach. One, holding a reasonably defensive sector strategy that contained volatility; two, very adept stock picking that stemmed from a pure bottom up investing approach.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from high exposure to banking and finance, the fund has, over the course of the last one year, continued to prefer relatively defensive sectors such as IT and pharma. That it managed to hold to this strategy and still deliver at a time when cyclical sectors outperformed, speaks of its stock-picking prowess.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in the mid and small-cap segment, stocks such as Symphony, Speciality Restaurants and Astra Microwave Products have worked well for the fund, although none of these would quality as sector calls.<\/p>\n<p>The fund is managed by Jinesh Gopani.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/quicktaxsaver.do\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6437\" alt=\"tax-table3-Nov11\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/tax-table3-Nov11.jpg\" width=\"783\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/tax-table3-Nov11.jpg 783w, https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/tax-table3-Nov11-300x63.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Returns over 1-year are annualised.
