Bandhan Nifty IT Index Fund - Direct Plan
An open-ended scheme tracking Nifty IT Index
What is a Nifty IT Index Fund?
From the smartphone apps that guide your commute to the cloud services that store your photos, IT drives modern life. The Nifty IT Index Fund allows you to invest in the companies behind these technologies, giving you a chance to be part of the rapidly growing tech sector.
A Nifty IT Index Fund is a type of sectoral index fund that invests predominantly in equities and equity-related instruments of IT companies. As an index fund, the Bandhan Nifty IT index fund tracks the Nifty IT index.
The IT sector is a major contributor to the Indian economy, and the Nifty IT Index represents companies involved in IT infrastructure, telecommunications and networking, software development, IT support and maintenance, etc. Investors can benefit from the growth potential of these IT-driven businesses.
With at least 95% of its corpus invested in equities, the Bandhan Nifty IT Index Fund is a high-risk fund. Being an IT Index mutual fund, its focus on the IT sector limits diversification, making it vulnerable to market volatility and less suitable for risk-averse investors.
Sectoral funds like the Nifty IT Index Fund provide exposure to an entire sector, allowing investors to potentially benefit from the overall performance of the IT industry, rather than individual stocks.
Nifty IT Index funds are subject to Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) tax at 15% for units held for less than one year. Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) over ₹1 lakh for units held for more than a year are taxed at 10%.

Who Should Invest in Nifty IT Index Mutual Funds?
Nifty IT Index Mutual Funds are high-risk investments due to their significant equity exposure and vulnerability to market volatility. These funds are suitable for investors with a high-risk tolerance and a long-term investment horizon.
These funds may not be suitable for investors seeking diversification, as they focus solely on the IT sector, increasing risk due to limited asset variety.
The Bandhan Nifty IT Index Fund may be ideal for long-term wealth creation, particularly for investors looking for a passive investment strategy focused on equity and equity-related instruments belonging to the Nifty IT index.
Index funds aim to replicate, not outperform, their benchmark. While Nifty IT Index funds may help build wealth over the long term, they do not follow an aggressive investment strategy. Investors seeking to beat the market may find this fund unsuitable.
