Nippon India Mutual Fund has introduced a new equity scheme called the Nippon India MNC Fund, which focuses on investing in multinational companies (MNCs). The New Fund Offer (NFO) began on 2 July 2025 and will remain open until 16 July 2025.
What’s special about Nippon India MNC Fund?
This is an open-ended equity scheme built around the Multinational Company (MNC) theme. The fund will invest in companies that are either foreign-owned, or operate globally, but are registered in India.
Investment Objective and Strategy
The fund aims for long-term capital growth. To achieve this, it will invest in companies that are financially strong, technologically advanced, and have strong brand identity.
The fund will use a bottom-up stock-picking strategy, meaning it will choose companies based on their individual performance and fundamentals.
Asset Allocation and Risk Level
The fund will invest 80% to 100% in MNC stocks, and the remaining 0% to 20% may go into other companies or debt instruments. The risk level is very high, so market ups and downs may strongly affect returns. This scheme is ideal for long-term investors who are comfortable with high risk.
Key Details about the NFO
The NFO is open from 2 July to 16 July 2025. After that, the scheme will be available for regular investment and redemption from 28 July 2025.
Minimum investment: ₹500
Further investments: In multiples of ₹1
Minimum additional purchase: ₹100
SIP options: Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly
Benchmark: Nifty MNC Total Return Index (NIFTY MNC TRI)
Exit Load and Expenses
If you redeem your investment within one year, a 1% exit load will apply. After one year, no exit load will be charged. The Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the fund can go up to 2.25%, including all costs and distribution charges.
Should You Invest?
If you’re looking to invest in companies with strong global presence, trusted brands, and steady growth potential, this fund might be suitable.
However, keep in mind that it comes with high risk. Always assess your risk appetite before investing. Since it’s a theme-based equity fund, it’s best suited for long-term investment goals.
