Kochi: Bandhan Mutual Fund has announced the launch of the Bandhan Contra Fund, an open-ended equity scheme following a contrarian investment strategy. The fund aims to identify and invest in fundamentally strong businesses that are currently out of favor due to temporary market conditions or investor sentiment. By capturing potential rerating as market perceptions align with improving fundamentals, the fund seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on August 10 and closes on August 24. Investors can participate through licensed mutual fund distributors, online platforms, or the official Bandhan Mutual Fund website. Highlighting the scheme’s vision, Vishal Kapoor, CEO of Bandhan AMC, stated that the Bandhan Contra Fund offers a compelling opportunity for investors with a long-term horizon and the resilience to stay invested across market cycles, leveraging market inefficiencies and evolving fundamentals through a disciplined contrarian approach.
