Bandhan Small Cap Fund

Bandhan Small Cap Fund is an open-ended equity scheme that focuses on generating long-term capital appreciation for its investors. The fund primarily achieves this by strategically investing in equities and equity-linked securities within the small-cap segment of the market, aiming to capture growth opportunities inherent in smaller, developing companies. Its investment approach emphasizes diligent selection to identify promising enterprises.

The fund operates under the umbrella of Bandhan Mutual Fund, which emerged from the acquisition and subsequent rebranding of IDFC Asset Management Company. A consortium comprising Bandhan Financial Holdings Limited, GIC, and ChrysCapital acquired the AMC, with Bandhan Financial Holdings Limited securing a controlling 60% stake. This strategic move, which led to the rebranding in March 2023, marked Bandhan Financial Holdings Limited's entry into the mutual fund industry, leveraging the established infrastructure and expertise of the acquired entity.

The fund targets individual and institutional investors seeking exposure to the high-growth potential of India’s small-cap market over an extended period. Bandhan Mutual Fund’s broader vision is to provide a comprehensive suite of investment solutions, serving a diverse investor base across various asset classes, and establishing itself as a significant player in the asset management landscape.
