Invesco India Infrastructure Gr

Invesco India Infrastructure Fund is an open- ended equity scheme that primarily invests in companies associated with infrastructure and development-oriented activities. Typically, the portfolio comprises equity and equity-related instruments across sectors such as engineering, construction, transportation, utilities, industrial services, and power-related businesses. Only a small portion of the assets may be allocated to cash or money market instruments for liquidity management purposes. The scheme may be suitable for investors seeking exposure to infrastructure-linked sectors while accepting a very high risk profile.

In the Growth Option, returns generated by the scheme are retained within the fund and reflected in changes in the Net Asset Value (NAV). No distributions are made to investors. This option is suitable for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation.

The scheme is benchmarked against the BSE India Infrastructure TRI and aims to generate capital appreciation through predominantly investing in equity and equity-related instruments of infrastructure companies.

The portfolio may also react significantly to developments affecting infrastructure-related businesses over time.
