Bajaj Finserv Mutual Fund Files Draft for Active Momentum Fund

Bajaj Finserv Asset Management has filed a draft with the SEBI for a new scheme called Bajaj Finserv Active Momentum Fund. It is an open-ended equity scheme that will follow the momentum investing theme. The fund plans to invest mainly in companies that show strong price movement trends.

Investment Objective and Allocation

The objective of the scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and equity-related instruments of companies that reflect momentum characteristics. 

As per the draft, the fund will allocate 80% to 100% of its assets in equities, and up to 20% in debt, money market instruments, and units of mutual fund schemes. It may also invest up to 10% in REITs and InvITs.

Benchmark and Risk Rating

The scheme will benchmark its performance against the NIFTY 500 Total Return Index (TRI), which tracks the top 500 Indian companies by market capitalisation. Both the scheme and the benchmark fall under the “very high risk” category. The draft mentions that the benchmark may be changed in line with SEBI or AMFI guidelines if required.

NFO and Minimum Investment

The New Fund Offer (NFO) will remain open for a minimum of 3 working days and a maximum of 15 calendar days. Each unit will be offered at ₹10. The minimum application amount is ₹500, both for lump sum and Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), with at least 6 instalments for SIPs.

Load and Redemption

The fund will not have any entry load. An exit load of 1% will apply if units are redeemed within three months from the date of allotment. Beyond that period, no exit load will be charged. Redemption proceeds will be dispatched within three working days.

Investors will have the option to invest through SIP, Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP), and Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) on a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis.
