Bandhan Mutual Fund has launched the Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund, an open-ended equity scheme built on a dynamic, quantitative model. The fund blends four proven investment factors—Momentum, Value, Quality, and Low Volatility—to provide diversified exposure and improved risk-adjusted returns. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on Thursday, July 10, 2025, and closes on Thursday, July 24, 2025. Investors can apply through licensed distributors, online platforms, or directly at bandhanmutual.com. The fund selects stocks from the top 250 large and mid-cap companies, scoring each on multiple factors. A portfolio of 50–65 stocks is constructed using a structured risk management framework.
Speaking on the launch, Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Bandhan AMC, said: “As markets become more dynamic, multi-factor investing offers resilience across cycles. Our approach reduces dependence on a single factor, aiming to enhance long-term outcomes.” He emphasized how each factor performs in different market conditions—momentum in bull phases, value in recoveries, quality during slowdowns, and low volatility in uncertainty. The fund is ideal for investors seeking a data-driven alternative to traditional equity strategies.
