About ICICI Prudential Target Returns Fund
The scheme invests in large cap companies and enables investors to automatically book profits.
This is done once the trigger event is met. Trigger Event here is the preferred return percentage specified by the investor while making the investment.
The gains made above this defined trigger are automatically switched to a fixed income fund, which the investor chooses beforehand.
The objective is to protect the returns made in the equity scheme and managing the stock market volatility
The fund provides investors with an asset allocation rebalancing tool in order to keep emotions and sentiments out of the investment process
The Growth option is the default option for Trigger and the default trigger option is 20%.
The investor can also choose to remain invested in the scheme without any triggers by selecting dividend payout or reinvestment options.
The investor has the flexibility to choose the preferred trigger option based on his/her risk profile
