Was looking for adding one mid cap IT company in my portfolio, since I was not convinced that large caps will sustain large growth in future.
I liked niche business of LTTS, and feel the fields they support - ERD - Transport, Medical Devices, AI etc, have better future prospects.
Liked Tata Elxi as well, but chose LTTS over that.
Any reason to exit a midcap fund and go for 2 flexicaps?
Initially I was thinking I will manage myself - Largecap, Midcap and Smallcaps - funds. But figured, it is not easy for me to manage and rebalance frequent and can leave it to fund managers to decide proportions.

What is your rational behind investing in Old Bridge?
Fund Manager’s history, little contrarian stock selection - are main two reasons. I am treating this like my personal PMS investments.

your core includes all quality stocks. These sold ones are also similar on quality and valuations. Whats the rationale to sell?
Also what is your thought and conviction behind United Spirits for top position?
Portfolio was getting consumer heavy so decided to reduce one, so Nestle gone
Since I added Bajaj Finserv - insurance sector is covered, so removed HDFC Life.
United Spirits top position is mainly because of price appreciation. Once it crosses 15%, may trim a bit.
