Cautious approach
Rex Cano / Mumbai June 18, 2010, 0:00 IST

After pulling out money in the previous week, the Smart Portfolios fund managers adopted a cautious approach in employing cash this week. The same can be vindicated by the fact that just ten trades were executed by the four fund managers in the last five trading days. Given the uncertainty over economic developments and monsoon, the fund managers perhaps are waiting for clear direction. The fund managers cumulatively were net buyers of Rs 2.79 lakh. The Smart Portfolios benchmark S&P CNX 500 portfolio value grew by 2.7 per cent to Rs 11.31 lakh.
