This fund provides investors with an opportunity to benefit from the health and wellness boom and tap into emerging megatrends in this space. Its portfolio will span a range of sectors, including pharmaceuticals, medical research and manufacturing, diagnostics, medical equipment, hospitals, healthcare facilities, and more. The Scheme will invest atleast 80% in companies which belong to sectors forming part of BSE Healthcare Total Return Index (TRI).

Ganesh Mohan, CEO, Bajaj Finserv AMC, says, "The Bajaj Finserv Healthcare Fund is a strategic pathway for investors to leverage the robust growth in the healthcare and wellness space.

The fund will continue to emphasize leveraging informational, behavioral, and quantitative advantages to outperform the market in long term.”
