What is a Transportation and Logistics Fund?
Imagine the network of trucks, ships, and warehouses that ensures packages arrive at your doorstep. The Bandhan Transportation and Logistics Fund invests in companies across this essential sector, from shipping leaders to logistics innovators, providing opportunities to benefit from their growth potential.
A transportation and logistics mutual fund is a type of sectoral mutual fund that invests in stocks of companies involved in the transportation and logistics sector. Bandhan Transportation and Logistics Fund is an open-ended equity scheme and is mandated to invest at least 80% of the funds corpus in equities and equity-related securities of companies engaged in the transportation and logistics sector.
The fund can allocate up to 20% of its assets to companies outside the transportation and logistics sector and up to 20% in debt and money market instruments to manage potential risk and provide some diversification.
The transportation and logistics sector is critical to the Indian economy, and investing in a sectoral fund like this provides exposure to the entire sector rather than individual stocks. However, the transport and logistics fund's lack of diversification across sectors or asset classes increases its risk.
As a predominantly equity-based fund, Bandhan Transportation and Logistics Fund is considered a high-risk investment. It follows the same tax structure as equity funds, with Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) taxed at 15% for units held under 12 months and Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) over ₹1 lakh taxed at 10% for units held over 12 months.
