Bandhan Large Cap Fund has completed 20 years, marking a milestone in its long-term investment journey built around stability, disciplined portfolio management and wealth creation through investments in fundamentally strong large-cap companies. The fund said it has remained focused on quality businesses capable of delivering consistent growth while navigating multiple market cycles, including periods of volatility, correction and economic expansion.
The fund follows its Business, Management and Valuation (BMV) investment framework, selecting companies with established business models, sound corporate governance, strong management teams and reasonable valuations. It also employs a five-parameter stock selection process that evaluates return on equity, long-term growth potential, capital allocation, management execution and earnings predictability. While maintaining a predominantly large-cap portfolio, the scheme retains the flexibility to invest up to 20 per cent in mid- and small-cap stocks when valuations present attractive opportunities.
According to the fund, the current market environment has strengthened the case for large-cap investing. It noted that the Nifty 100 was trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of 21.1 as of May 2026, below its five-year average of 24.5, while mid- and small-cap segments continued to trade at relatively higher valuations. The fund said this valuation gap offers investors an opportunity to balance long-term growth with portfolio stability.
In Guwahati, financial advisers and mutual fund distributors say investors in the city are increasingly favouring diversified and relatively stable investment options amid heightened market volatility. With growing participation in mutual funds across Assam, large-cap oriented schemes are gaining attention among first-time and long-term investors seeking consistent returns, disciplined risk management and exposure to India’s long-term economic growth story.
