Bandhan Focused Equity Fund - Direct Plan
An open ended equity scheme investing in maximum 30 stocks with multi cap focus
What is the Meaning of Focused Equity Fund?
Focused equity funds are a type of equity fund that invest in a limited number of stocks. Focused funds can invest in a maximum of thirty stocks. In comparison, most other mutual funds can invest in a maximum of a hundred stocks. These stocks may belong to small cap, mid cap and large cap companies with a focus on only a few sectors. Focused equity funds invest in high-performing assets to earn potential returns.
Focussed equity funds invest in a limited number of stocks, this may allow the fund to make potentially higher gains. This fund does not invest across sectors, consequently, it may not be ideal for investors seeking diversification. Moreover, limiting these funds to a few stocks makes them vulnerable to volatility. Nevertheless, focused equity funds can be suitable for investors with a high-risk appetite, looking to maximise their gains. As investments in stocks are made after in-depth research and assessment, focused funds may potentially give favourable returns.
