Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund - Overview

The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund is a sectoral equity fund that will go beyond lending-focused companies to invest in a wide spectrum of BFSI sub-sectors including banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, capital market participants and more.

The fund will follow a Megatrends strategy, investing in long-term structural changes shaping the banking and financial services industry for the next several years. These include the increased penetration of digital payments, greater financial inclusion, more demand for banking and financial services, rising insurance penetration and innovations in financial technology.

The New Fund Offer period for the scheme will begin on November 10, 2025 and will be on till November 24, 2025.

  • People and businesses across urban and rural areas are using more loans, insurance, and digital financial services.
  • Initiatives such as UPI and Jan Dhan are boosting financial inclusion, while non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and fintech platforms are also offering new ways to reach customers.
  • India is moving towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy by 2030*, of which the BFS sector is expected to be a key driver.
  • The banking and financial services sector is expected to be one of the key drivers of the country’s growth.
  • The sector’s valuations are currently below their 14-year average, creating a potentially favourable entry point.

What types of investors may consider a banking and financial services fund?

A banking and financial services fund may be suitable for investors who understand market cycles, follow sectoral trends and are comfortable with short-term ups and downs for potentially better long-term gains.

It may also appeal to investors who believe in the potential of India’s journey towards financial inclusion through growing rural credit, digital banking, rising insurance coverage and more.

Such a fund may also be considered as a tactical part of a diversified portfolio that also includes broad market funds and debt or hybrid funds.

A long investment horizon of five years or more is generally suitable for such funds.
