DSP Mutual Fund debuts its DSP Business Cycle Fund
This fund gives investors the chance to participate in companies with a range of market capitalisations, covering large, mid, and small cap firms. The investing strategy's main goal is to allocate assets in a dynamic manner to sectors and businesses with promising growth prospects, improving fundamentals, and appealing values.
The DSP Business Cycle Fund chooses sectors and businesses with significant growth or turnaround potential using a framework-driven methodology. It enables the implementation of cash calls and other risk management techniques in addition to active assignment to sectors during upcycles.
In addition to this, the fund provides an unrestricted investment strategy across market capitalisations by concentrating on recognising robust industry cycles, allowing investors to take advantage of growth prospects irrespective of the size of the company.
Moreover, it also divides its investing universe into major areas and examines them on an industry basis. It seeks to find industries that are near the bottom of their cycle, have strong growth potential, and are trading at low valuations relative to benchmarks.
Beyond that, the fund employs trained forensic analysts to screen out companies with inadequate corporate governance, even if they exhibit great growth potential.
The fund uses a variety of risk management tactics, including portfolio hedging via put options and arbitrage opportunities.
It also retains the ability to invest up to 10% of its portfolio in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) or Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) when equity market possibilities are limited.
Charanjit Singh, fund manager, DSP Mutual Fund stated: 'Timing entry and exit of themes can be tricky for investors on their own and may sometimes lead to errors. Redeploying capital after exiting a sector also calls for a thorough evaluation. DSP Business Cycle Fund is strategically designed to navigate through different phases of business cycles while managing risks effectively. We believe this fund will provide investors with a unique opportunity to capitalise on changing market dynamics.'
The DSP Business Cycle Fund's New Fund Offer (NFO) will go live on 27 November 2024, and end on 11 December 2024.

Failure Taught Them How to Succeed
My father and my mother's brother began their careers in the now defunct savings and loan industry in Chicago in the late 1950s. My uncle George was a young executive at Fairfield Savings and Loan, where his father, my grandfather, was president. In the early 1940s, my grandfather—'Pa' to us grandkids—had been a federal bank examiner. When the government decided to convert the failing Fairfield bank into a savings and loan—commonplace after the Depression—Pa got the nod. Right place, right time. My dad was an apprentice real estate appraiser at Draper and Kramer, a mortgage banking company. Established in 1893 by Arthur W. Draper and Adolph F. Kramer, the firm still operates today. According to its website, it became 'one of Chicago's premiere mortgage banking and residential real estate management firms,' promoting home ownership and providing residential financing during a critical period of city growth.

Good Luck Trying to Buy a Home Right Now
It's supposed to be the busiest time of the year for real estate — but instead, it's crickets. June existing home sales fell to a nine-month low, and one in seven potential deals fell through, according to new data from Redfin and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). With 30-year mortgage rates around 6.67% at press time, and median home prices rising 2% from a year ago (now around $435,300), being a buyer is a tough draw in 2025. Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin, told the New York Times that buyers are staying on the sidelines. Related: Barbara Corcoran Says the Best Entrepreneurs Are Good at This One Thing "What it really comes down to, as always, is affordability," Fairweather told the outlet. However, even with the housing supply increasing 15.9% from one year ago, many sellers still think they can get top dollar, dreaming of pandemic days when things skyrocketed (home prices increased 40% on average from 2020 to 2022, and even higher—58%—in some markets like South Florida, per TD Bank). And though some markets have since cooled, especially on Florida's west coast, many sellers are choosing to delist rather than cut prices, says Joel Berner, a senior economist for per the New York Times. Related: This Is the Newest Real Estate Trend You Can't Miss — and It's Worth $438 Billion "Sellers still have pretty high expectations of what they can get for their homes," Berner told the outlet. Of the contract cancellations, Jacksonville, Florida, had the most, with more than one in five (21.4%) of home-purchase agreements canceled in June, per Redfin data. Las Vegas came in second with (19.7%) followed by Atlanta (19.6%).
