What Is a BSE Healthcare Index Fund?

Healthcare impacts every aspect of our lives, from routine checkups to life-saving innovations. The Bandhan BSE Healthcare Index Fund lets you tap into the growth potential of the healthcare sector by tracking the BSE Healthcare Index. It offers exposure to pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, hospitals, and medical devices, with the potential for long-term growth. However, as a sector-focused fund, it carries specific risks, making it ideal for investors with a higher risk appetite looking to capitalise on the healthcare industry's growth potential.

The Bandhan BSE Healthcare Index Fund is a sectoral index fund that tracks the BSE Healthcare Index, which represents stocks from India's healthcare sector. The fund aims to replicate the returns of this index.

The fund is mandated to invest at least 95% of its assets in stocks and index derivatives from the BSE Healthcare Index, with up to 5% allocated to other instruments like debt and money market securities.

Since this BSE healthcare index fund invests solely in the healthcare sector, it lacks diversification across sectors. As a result, it's categorised as a high-risk mutual fund, with the majority of assets in healthcare equities.

The healthcare index fund’s returns depend on the performance of Indian healthcare companies. As an equity-focused sector fund, it is subject to market, liquidity, concentration risks, and tracking errors.
