Arudha SIF’s NFO opens on March 5

Hyderabad: Arudha SIF, by Bandhan Mutual Fund, has announced the launch of the Arudha Equity Long-Short Fund, an open-ended equity investment strategy under the Specialised Investment Funds (SIF) framework. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on Thursday, March 5 and closes on 18 March.

The investment strategy is suited for investors seeking a more adaptive portfolio in an environment characterised by market swings, shifting leadership, and heightened volatility.

Investments in the Arudha Equity Long-Short Fund can be made through licensed distributors, investment advisors, online platforms, or directly at company’s website. Vishal Kapoor, CEO, Bandhan AMC Limited, said: “Equity investing has traditionally involved a trade-off between pursuing higher returns and accepting higher volatility.

Investors today are increasingly seeking approaches that participate in growth while managing risk in a more structured manner.

“The Arudha Equity Long-Short Fund adopts a long-short framework that combines high-conviction long positions with selective short exposure, enabling portfolios to capture opportunities in both rising and declining markets.”
