What is the Bandhan Core Equity Fund?

Balancing relative stability with growth potential in your investment portfolio can be challenging, but the Bandhan Core Equity Fund aims to simplify this. It invests in both large-cap and mid-cap stocks, offering a blend of reliability and growth potential, aiming to support your long-term wealth creation goals.

The Bandhan Core Equity Fund is an equity mutual fund scheme that primarily invests in large-cap and mid-cap companies. Large and mid-cap companies are defined by market capitalization and include the top 250 companies in the country. By regulation, large and mid-cap funds must invest at least 35% of their assets in both large-cap and mid-cap stocks, meaning that 70% of the fund's assets are required to be invested in equity and equity-related securities of these companies.

The relatively lower volatility of large-cap stocks, coupled with the growth potential of mid-cap stocks, makes core equity funds well-suited for long-term wealth creation. Risk-averse investors hoping to benefit from mid-cap stocks with less volatility than pure mid-cap funds may consider this option. Core equity funds provide a balance between relative stability and growth potential.

By investing in both large and mid-cap stocks, core equity funds offer diversification across two market capitalizations, which can potentially reduce risk.
