Bank of India Mutual Fund has launched a New Fund Offer (NFO) – Bank of India Multi Cap Fund – for investors looking to diversify their portfolio across large, mid and small cap categories. In a statement, the AMC said that the Multi Cap Allocation Strategy includes a spread of minimum 25% of its total assets each in large, mid, and small cap companies.
“Bank of India Mutual Fund is very pleased to announce the launch of a NFO after almost 2 years. Given the positive and structural long term strengths of Indian markets and with nature of volatility that is inherent in growth markets like India, we feel that a Scheme that invests across categories of large, small and mid-cap companies may provide a good opportunity for investors looking for long term Wealth Creation,” said Mohit Bhatia, CEO, Bank of India Investment Managers Private Limited.

Alok Singh, CIO, Bank of India Investment Managers Private Limited further said, “Market volatility can be managed by diversification and a Multi Cap Fund by regulatory mandate invests a minimum 25% across each of large, mid and small cap companies thus offering diversification across market caps in its portfolios.”
“While large cap compounders are likely to provide index oriented returns, mid cap companies & small cap exposures are likely to provide Alpha creation opportunities in a multi-cap portfolio. The Scheme will also endeavour to manage 25% of the portfolio in a dynamic rules based approach to allocate across market capitalisation based on medium term Trends & Valuation Metrics. Bank of India Multi Cap Fund would be well suited for investors looking at exposure to growth oriented Equity Funds with a minimum 3-5 years Investment Horizon,” he added.
