Sector Fund - An open-ended equity scheme investing in transportation and logistics sector
What is a Transportation and Logistics Fund?
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.
According to the mandate, transport and logistics funds can invest a maximum of 20% in equities of companies not engaged in the transportation and logistics sector. To diversify the fund's assets and reduce potential risk, the mandate permits a maximum investment of 20% in debt and money market instruments.
The transport and logistics sector plays an important role in the Indian economy, and transportation and logistics mutual funds give investors the opportunity to potentially benefit from the performance of the entire sector rather than individual company stocks. However, as a sectoral fund, transport and logistics funds are not diversified across sectors or asset classes. The primary focus on a single sector may increase the risk level of this fund. Bandhan Transportation and Logistics Fund is categorised as a high-risk investment.
Transport and logistics mutual funds are predominantly invested in equities. Consequently, these funds are taxed similarly to equity funds. Units held for less than 12 months are taxed as Short-Term Capital Gains at 15%. Units held for over 12 months are subject to Long-Term Capital Gains Tax at 10%.
