From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~6 min.

Bajaj Finserv Mutual Fund is an Indian asset management company, formally incorporated as Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Limited, and among the newest entrants to the SEBI-registered mutual fund industry in India, having launched its first schemes in 2023. The fund house is sponsored by Bajaj Finserv Limited, the holding company for the Bajaj Group’s financial services businesses, including Bajaj Finance Limited (the NBFC), Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance.

As of March 2024, Bajaj Finserv MF was in its early growth phase with AUM in the range of a few thousand crore, growing from the initial scheme launches in 2023. The fund house benefits from a large potential distribution network through Bajaj Finance’s customer base of over 75 million active customers.

Background

Bajaj Finserv Limited, listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange, is the financial services holding company of the Bajaj Group (not to be confused with Bajaj Auto, which is a separate listed entity). Bajaj Finance Limited, the NBFC subsidiary, is one of India’s largest consumer and SME lenders by assets.

The Bajaj Group had not previously operated in the mutual fund sector; the launch of Bajaj Finserv AMC represents its first foray into regulated asset management.

Ganesh Mohan was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Bajaj Finserv AMC, bringing experience from senior roles at previous AMCs.

Bajaj Finserv Limited is the sponsor. The trustee entity is Bajaj Finserv Mutual Fund Trustee Limited.

Key service providers:

  • RTA: Computer Age Management Services (CAMS)
  • Depository: NSDL and CDSL

Scheme portfolio

Bajaj Finserv AMC launched schemes across equity, debt, and hybrid categories including:

  • Bajaj Finserv Large Cap Fund: Core large cap equity.
  • Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund: Flexible capitalisation mandate.
  • Bajaj Finserv Midcap Fund: Mid cap exposure.
  • Bajaj Finserv Multi Cap Fund: Multi cap mandate.
  • Bajaj Finserv ELSS Tax Saver Fund: Tax-saving equity.
  • Bajaj Finserv Liquid Fund: Short-term parking.
  • Bajaj Finserv Balanced Advantage Fund: Dynamic asset allocation.

Investment philosophy

Bajaj Finserv AMC’s investment philosophy, as stated in its scheme information documents, emphasises disciplined fundamental research and long-term equity wealth creation. Given the fund house’s recent establishment, its investment track record is limited.

Distribution and operations

Bajaj Finance’s distribution infrastructure, including its digital app, DSA (Direct Sales Agent) network, and branch presence across India, constitutes a large potential channel. The fund house distributes through standard AMFI-registered adviser channels and digital platforms.

Regulatory standing

Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Limited holds a valid SEBI registration. As a new entrant, no material regulatory events as of 2024.
