NFO Opening Dates
The New Fund Offer (NFO) will remain open for subscription from October 1 to October 15. Investors can apply for the scheme during this period.
Why This Fund?
India’s consumption habits have changed rapidly in recent years. Rising incomes, urbanization, and economic reforms have transformed the economy.
Consumption is no longer limited to essentials — it now includes premium and discretionary categories such as automobiles, retail, financial services, durables, and lifestyle products.
Since consumption contributes to over 60% of India’s GDP, Motilal Oswal aims to leverage this growth through the new fund.
Fund Managers
The fund will be managed by an experienced team:
Niket Shah (CIO & Fund Manager – Equity)
Varun Sharma (Fund Manager – Equity)
Bhalchandra Shinde (Associate Fund Manager – Equity)
Rakesh Shetty (Fund Manager – Debt)
Sunil Sawant (Fund Manager – Overseas)
Investment Strategy
The scheme will focus on sectors that are driving India’s consumption boom, including:
Organized retail
Digital services
Financial services supporting consumption
Select segments of durables and apparel
Pratik Agarwal, MD & CEO of Motilal Oswal AMC, said the fund is built around India’s changing consumption theme.
It follows the QGLP framework (Quality, Growth, Longevity, and Price) to ensure investments in strong companies that can benefit from structural changes.
What It Means for Investors
This fund may appeal to investors who believe in India’s consumption-driven growth story and want stable, long-term returns.
With rising urbanization, higher income levels, and digital transformation, the sector is expected to expand even further.
Who Should Invest?
The Motilal Oswal Consumption Fund is suitable for investors seeking long-term exposure to India’s rapidly growing consumption-related companies. It provides a chance to benefit from the increasing strength and scale of the consumption sector.
