The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens on 23 April 2025, and will close on 30 April 2025. The fund aims to deliver tax-efficient, moderate returns over a medium-term horizon of two to three years, though it does not guarantee any returns.

The fund will allocate 50% to 65% of its portfolio to debt mutual fund schemes for income stability, while 35% to 50% will be directed towards arbitrage strategies to capture market opportunities. Additionally, up to 5% may be invested in cash, money market instruments, triparty repos, and reverse repos, adding liquidity and flexibility to the portfolio.

Its performance will be benchmarked against a composite index made up of 65% Nifty Composite Debt Index and 35% Nifty 50 Arbitrage Index, reflecting its hybrid strategy. The scheme will be managed by Ardhendu Bhattacharya, a seasoned fund manager associated with SBI Mutual Fund since 2019, who brings considerable experience in overseeing debt and hybrid portfolios.

The minimum investment required is Rs 5,000, with additional contributions allowed in multiples of Rs 1,000. Investors can also opt for Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), available in daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual frequencies, offering accessibility and convenience.

This fund is targeted at investors seeking a diversified approach that combines the relative safety of debt instruments with the return potential of arbitrage strategies. It is especially suited for those looking for regular income, moderate capital growth, and an actively managed portfolio without the need to track individual mutual fund schemes.

The company plans to kick off with active equity mutual funds, followed by offerings in debt, hybrid, and multi-asset categories. Its strategies, such as Adaptive Momentum and Surge India, have delivered post-fees returns of over 27.1% and 28.9% respectively over five years, and will form the backbone of the new fund offerings.

Led by founder Deepak Shenoy and COO Vashistha Iyer, the firm is positioning itself as a tech-forward AMC with a strong emphasis on transparency, in-house tech, and quantitative research. Capitalmind manages Rs 2,058 crore for PMS and AIF clients and has an engaged digital community of over 4 lakh followers.

Its entry comes as India's mutual fund industry crosses Rs 65 lakh crore in AUM, and Capitalmind hopes to democratize sophisticated investing with a retail-first, evidence-based philosophy.
