Mumbai, July 8, 2025: Bandhan Mutual Fund has announced the launch of Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund, an open-ended equity scheme investing based on an adaptive and evolving multi-factor quantitative model theme. The fund offers investors diversified exposure by blending four time-tested investment factors—Momentum, Value, Quality, and Low Volatility—into a single portfolio. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on Thursday, 10 July 2025 and closes on Thursday, 24 July 2025. Investments in the Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund can be made through licensed mutual fund distributors, online platforms, or directly via https://bandhanmutual.com/nfo/bandhan-multi-factor-fund/
Commenting on the launch, Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Bandhan AMC, said, “As markets become
increasingly dynamic, investors need strategies that can adapt and remain resilient through
cycles. Multi-factor investing has emerged as a compelling equity strategy, especially in a
market where no single factor consistently leads across all conditions. Momentum tends to
perform well in bull markets, value during recoveries, quality in slowdowns, and low volatility
in uncertain phases. By combining these factors, the Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund aims to
reduce reliance on any one factor and enhance overall risk-adjusted returns.”
The portfolio is constructed from a universe of the top 250 large and mid-cap companies. Each
stock is scored on the four factors, after which the most effective factor combinations are
shortlisted. A final score is then assigned to each stock, and a portfolio of approximately 50–
65 stocks is created, guided by a defined risk management framework. The fund is well-suited
for investors seeking to move beyond traditional equity styles and adopt a more structured,
data-driven approach to long-term equity investing.
