Is it good to invest in Bandhan Business Cycle Fund NFO?
Guidance for Bandhan Business Cycle Fund by Paresh Gordhandas, C.A., Research Analyst.
The latest NFO from Bandhan Mutual Fund- Bandhan Business Cycle Fund- competes with existing schemes like the ICICI Prudential Business Cycle Fund, Edelweiss Business Cycle Fund, Quant Business Cycle Fund , Tata Business Cycle Fund, Axis Business Cycle Fund and a few others.
From these, the ICICI Business Cycle Fund is 3 years old and its 1 year return is 42.55% and three years return is 24.37%.
Investing in a business cycle fund can earn great returns provided that the stock picking is on spot. This is where the Fund Managers come into play. This fund is being managed by three Fund Managers.
Mr. Vishal Biraria has been working with Bandhan Mutual Fund since just a little more than a year. This is his first time working with a Fund House. A sample study done of the other Funds managed by the other Fund Manager, Mr. Harshal Joshi does not inspire much confidence. Not much data is available about the funds managed by Ms. Ritika.
Hence, on the whole, we recommend an avoid on the Bandhan Business Cycle Fund.
