Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund Launches Contra Fund NFO For Long-Term Investors

Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund has launched the Motilal Oswal Contra Fund, an open-ended equity scheme based on a contrarian investment strategy.

The New Fund Offer (NFO) will open for subscription on May 8, 2026, and close on May 22, 2026.

Investment Objective And Strategy

The fund aims to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing mainly in equities and equity-related instruments.

The fund house believes that market mispricing often happens due to investor behaviour and market volatility. A contrarian strategy tries to identify undervalued companies early and invest in them for long-term gains.

The fund will follow a high-conviction and actively managed approach across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks. It is designed for investors willing to stay invested for 3–5 years or more.

Fund Managers

The scheme will be managed by:

• Varun Sharma
• Bhalchandra Shinde
• Ankit Agarwal (Equity investments)
• Rakesh Shetty (Debt portion)
• Swapnil Mayekar (Overseas investments)

Investment Amount And Exit Load

• Minimum investment during NFO: ₹500
• Additional investments: ₹500 and above (in multiples of ₹1)
• Exit load: 1% if redeemed within 365 days
• No exit load after one year

Exit load will apply when switching between different schemes of the fund house, but not when switching within the same scheme.

Who Should Invest?

The fund is suitable for investors who:

• Want long-term capital growth
• Can handle very high risk
• Are comfortable with a contrarian strategy
• Aim to diversify their portfolio

Investors are advised to consult a financial advisor if unsure about suitability.
