Bandhan Mutual Fund has launched the Bandhan Nifty Alpha 50 Index Fund, an open-ended index scheme that tracks the Nifty Alpha 50 Index, giving investors the opportunity to invest in a well-diversified portfolio of stocks that generated high alpha (relatively higher returns than the market) in the previous year.

The New Fund Offer will be available on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, and will close on Monday, November 6, 2023.
Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, highlighted the important reasons to pursue the Nifty Alpha 50 Index approach, saying, “Traditional passive funds are designed to mimic their benchmark and thus offer broad market-based returns.” Bandhan Nifty Alpha 50 Index Fund seeks to outperform the market by picking stocks with certain characteristics that yield potentially greater risk-adjusted returns than the market. According to NSE data as of September 30, 2023, the Nifty Alpha 50 Index outperformed the Nifty 50 Index and the Nifty 500 Index, earning a 5% alpha over both broad-based indices despite increased volatility. Savvy investors looking to add an aggressive strategy to their portfolio could include the Bandhan Nifty Alpha 50 Index Fund to boost the portfolio’s growth potential.”
