Bandhan Mutual Fund announces the launch of the Bandhan BSE India Sector Leaders Index Fund, India’s first index fund to provide investors exclusive access to sector leaders across the economy. The open-ended scheme will track the BSE India Sector Leaders Index, which identifies the top three companies by market capitalisation from each of the 21 sectors within the BSE 500 Index. The New Fund Offer (NFO) will open on 3 September 2025 and close on 17 September 2025. Investments in the Bandhan BSE India Sector Leaders Index Fund can be made through licensed mutual fund distributors, financial advisors, online platforms, or directly at https://bandhanmutual.com/nfo/bandhan-bse-india-sector-leaders-index-fund/.

Commenting on the launch, Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Bandhan AMC said, “India’s capital markets are undergoing rapid transformation, with established sectors evolving and newer industries emerging as growth drivers. In this backdrop, sector leaders have shown resilience through cycles, lower risk of disruption, and an ability to drive long-term value. With the launch of the Bandhan BSE India Sector Leaders Index Fund, we are proud to introduce India’s first offering that gives investors simple, broad-based access to proven leaders powering the country’s growth story.”

The BSE India Sector Leaders Index is a thematic index that tracks the top 3 companies from each sector of the BSE 500 Index based on Total Market Capitalization. While the BSE Sector Leaders Index draws from 500 stocks, it is largely large-cap heavy. Historically, the strategy has delivered broad market-like returns with lower volatility. Diversification and market-cap weighting help avoid extreme single-stock bets, enabling potential stability.
