Chandigarh – In a significant move to cater to evolving investor needs, Bandhan Mutual Fund has announced the launch of the Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund, an open-ended equity scheme grounded in a smart, adaptive, and data-driven investment strategy. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on Thursday, 10 July 2025, and will remain available for subscription until Thursday, 24 July 2025.
This innovative fund introduces Indian investors to a structured multi-factor quantitative model, combining four time-tested investment factors—Momentum, Value, Quality, and Low Volatility—into a single portfolio. It is designed to provide a balanced approach to equity investing by diversifying across market conditions and minimizing dependency on any one factor.
Smarter Investing Through Multi-Factor Strategy
With market dynamics becoming increasingly complex, traditional equity styles may not always offer consistent performance. Bandhan Mutual Fund’s new offering addresses this challenge by leveraging a multi-factor approach, a globally accepted investment strategy used by institutional investors.
“Markets rarely favour one strategy consistently,” said Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan Asset Management Company (AMC). “In such a climate, multi-factor investing presents a resilient solution. Each factor—Momentum, Value, Quality, and Low Volatility—tends to perform differently across market cycles. For instance, momentum strategies excel during bullish trends, value comes into play during recoveries, quality shines during slowdowns, and low volatility provides cushion during uncertain phases.”
He added, “The Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund blends these diverse styles into one cohesive framework, aiming to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over time.”
How the Fund Works
The fund’s portfolio is built from a universe of India’s top 250 large- and mid-cap stocks. A rigorous quantitative model assigns scores to each stock based on the four investment factors. These scores are then evaluated to identify effective combinations and generate a final ranking.
The fund’s investment team uses these scores to construct a diversified portfolio of approximately 50–65 stocks, adhering to a well-defined risk management framework. This ensures the portfolio is robust across market conditions and is not overly reliant on the performance of a single stock or sector.
The fund is ideal for long-term investors who seek to move beyond conventional stock-picking methods and embrace a systematic, research-backed approach to equity investing. The use of data-driven algorithms helps reduce behavioral biases and ensures consistency in investment decisions.
Why Multi-Factor Investing?
Multi-factor investing is gaining traction among modern investors due to its potential to deliver more consistent performance than single-factor strategies. Each factor captures a different dimension of market behavior:
-
Momentum: Capitalizes on stocks showing upward price trends.
-
Value: Targets undervalued stocks based on fundamental metrics.
-
Quality: Focuses on financially strong companies with stable earnings.
-
Low Volatility: Seeks out stocks that experience less price fluctuation.
By combining these factors, the Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund aims to smooth out volatility and provide more stable returns regardless of market sentiment.
