Bandhan Mutual Fund has launched Bandhan Nifty Alpha Low Volatility 30 Index Fund, an open-ended scheme that combines two investment factors: alpha and low volatility.
Tracking the Nifty Alpha Low Volatility 30 Index, it selects stocks that have generated alpha while maintaining lower volatility. By blending these two factors, the fund aims to deliver consistent performance across market cycles, targeting upside potential and mitigating downside risks.
In a press release, Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Bandhan AMC, said, “Investors today need strategies that balance ambition with caution. While each investment factor tends to deliver long-term excess returns, these returns may not always be consistently positive over shorter time horizons. That’s where our multi-factor approach makes a difference. The fund combines Alpha for growth potential with Low Volatility for relative stability, aiming to deliver robust risk-adjusted returns across varying market conditions. The Nifty Alpha Low Volatility 30 Index has historically outperformed both broad market indices and single-factor indices, achieving this outperformance at lower or similar volatility levels compared to broad market indices.”
