Mutual fund houses are set to launch a fresh set of new fund offers (NFOs) this week as asset managers continue to broaden product line ups across investment categories.
The upcoming launches cover equity, hybrid and debt oriented strategies, along with passive investment options tracking specific indices.
These offerings provide investors with additional avenues to align allocations with varying risk profiles, investment horizons and market participation preferences.
A total of eight mutual fund NFOs are scheduled to open for subscription during the week. The launches are spread across different fund categories, reflecting continued diversification within the mutual fund industry.
Out of the eight schemes, five are actively managed funds where portfolio allocation decisions are taken by fund managers, while three are passive products designed to track specific market indices.
The mix indicates sustained demand for both active strategies and cost efficient index-based investing.
| Fund Name | Category | Subscription Period | Minimum Investment |
| Capitalmind Arbitrage Fund | Arbitrage Fund | Feb 23 – Mar 9 | ₹5,000 |
| Capitalmind Multi Asset Allocation Fund | Multi Asset Allocation | Feb 23 – Mar 9 | ₹5,000 |
| Abakkus Small Cap Fund | Small Cap Equity | Feb 26 – Mar 12 | ₹500 |
| Aditya Birla SL BSE Top 10 Banks ETF | Banking ETF (Passive) | Feb 23 – Feb 25 | ₹500 |
| Canara Robeco Banking & Financial Services Fund | Sectoral – BFSI | Feb 27 – Mar 13 | ₹5,000 |
| HDFC Income Plus Arbitrage Omni FoF | Fund of Funds | Feb 27 – Mar 11 | ₹100 |
| Nippon India CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 9–12 Months Debt Index Fund | Debt Index Fund | Feb 23 – Feb 25 | ₹1,000 |
| TRUSTMF Mid Cap Fund | Mid Cap Equity | Feb 27 – Mar 13 | ₹1,000 |
Capitalmind Mutual Fund will introduce two offerings simultaneously an arbitrage fund and a multi asset allocation fund.
Both schemes will remain open between February 23 and March 9, with a minimum application amount of ₹5,000.
The launches aim to cater to investors seeking diversified allocation and relatively lower volatility strategies.
Several NFOs this week focus on equity exposure across different market capitalisations and sectors.
The Abakkus Small Cap Fund targets companies in the smaller market capitalisation segment, while the TRUSTMF Mid Cap Fund aims to invest in mid sized businesses with growth potential.
Meanwhile, the Canara Robeco Banking & Financial Services Fund provides sector-focused exposure to banking and financial companies.
Passive investing continues to see new product additions. The Aditya Birla Sun Life BSE Top 10 Banks ETF seeks to replicate the performance of leading banking stocks through an exchange-traded structure.
On the fixed-income side, the Nippon India CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 9–12 Months Debt Index Fund tracks a defined maturity debt index, offering relatively predictable duration exposure.
Additionally, the HDFC Income Plus Arbitrage Omni FoF combines arbitrage strategies through a fund-of-funds structure, with a comparatively low entry threshold.
NFO participation should typically be aligned with an investor’s broader asset allocation strategy rather than the novelty of a new launch.
Factors such as investment objective, risk tolerance, expense structure, portfolio strategy and holding period may influence suitability.
Investors may also compare similar existing schemes to understand differentiation before committing capital.
The upcoming week’s NFO pipeline reflects continued expansion across equity, hybrid and passive mutual fund categories. With multiple strategies becoming available simultaneously, investors have a wider selection of instruments to match portfolio requirements. Careful evaluation of scheme objectives and alignment with financial goals remains important when assessing new fund launches.
