New Fund Offers (NFOs) provide investors an opportunity to enter schemes at launch, typically at an initial offer price. These funds span a range of strategies, including diversified asset allocation, arbitrage opportunities, and more advanced approaches such as long-short investing.
Between April 6 and April 10, 2026, asset management companies are introducing a mix of mutual fund schemes along with a specialised investment fund (SIF), catering to different investment preferences and risk profiles.
| Fund Name | Minimum Investment | NFO Start Date | NFO End Date |
| Kotak Multi Asset Active FoF | ₹1,000 | Apr 08, 2026 | Apr 22, 2026 |
| Groww Arbitrage Fund | ₹500 | Apr 08, 2026 | Apr 22, 2026 |
| Sapphire Equity Long-Short SIF (Franklin Templeton MF) | ₹10,00,000 | Apr 10, 2026 | Apr 24, 2026 |
This fund adopts a multi-asset allocation approach, investing across equity, debt, and commodity-oriented schemes. The objective is to provide diversification by spreading investments across different asset classes.
The Groww Arbitrage Fund focuses on exploiting price differences between cash and derivatives markets. This strategy generally aims to offer relatively stable returns with limited exposure to market direction.
The Sapphire Equity Long-Short SIF by Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund uses a long-short strategy, taking both long and short positions in equities. This structure allows participation in varying market conditions, though it comes with a higher minimum investment requirement.
