Helios Mutual Fund is launching a new fund called Helios Financial Services Fund. This fund aims to grow your money over the long term by investing mainly in stocks and similar securities of companies in the financial services sector like banks, insurance companies, etc. There is no guarantee it’ll achieve its goal, but that’s the idea. The good news is there is no upfront fee to invest (entry load), and if you hold your investment for more than 3 months, you can redeem your money without any penalty (exit load). However, if you take out your money within 3 months, there might be a small fee depending on how much you take out. The minimum amount you can invest is Rs. 5000 and you can add more. The fund opens for subscription today, May 31st, 2024, and closes for new investors on June 14th.
The investment objective of the Helios Financial Services Fund is to generate long-term capital appreciation from a portfolio that is invested predominantly in equity and equity-related securities of companies engaged in financial services. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realized.
This NFO of Helios Financial Services Fund is suitable for investors who are seeking long-term wealth creation and an open-ended equity scheme that aims for capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity & equity related securities of financial services.
