Bandhan Infrastructure Fund - Direct Plan
An open ended equity scheme investing in Infrastructure sector
What is an Infrastructure Fund?
From roads and bridges to power lines, infrastructure is the backbone of our country. By investing in infrastructure funds, you can contribute to economic growth and potentially achieve long-term financial gains.
An infrastructure mutual fund or infra fund invests at least 80% of its assets in companies within the infrastructure sector. These funds play a vital role in supporting economic development while offering investors potential long-term gains.
The performance of infrastructure mutual funds is closely tied to government policies and regulations, making them high-risk investments. However, infrastructure development often persists during economic slowdowns, providing the potential for stable long-term returns.
Infrastructure mutual funds offer diversification and may help protect against stock market volatility. However, most infrastructure funds in India are generally considered high-risk, high-return investments.
