Sundaram BNP offers two new close ended funds
Kolkata:
Sundaram BNP Paribas Mutual Fund has launched the Select Small-Cap and Equity Multiplier, both close ended funds. The fund house has decided to restrict the maximum corpus of the new funds to Rs300 crore and Rs500 crore respectively. These will be benchmarked against the BSE Small-Cap Index and S& P CNX Mid-Cap Index. The fund house said it may not be easy for it to spread very large amounts over stocks constrained by factors such as relatively poor liquidity and high volatility. While Select Small-Cap is a five-year product, Equity Multiplier will have tenure of 3 years. The former (which will allow 10 per cent redemption every year) will be redeemed at the end of its tenure; the latter will be converted into an open-end fund. Equity Multiplier will provide unit holders with a single-day redemption window every half-year.
