Bajaj Finserv Consumption Fund

A consumption-themed mutual fund invests primarily in companies benefiting from consumer spending and lifestyle trends. Such funds can target businesses across various sectors – retail, food and beverages, travel, technology, healthcare, etc – that cater to consumer needs and benefit from consumer spending.

The Bajaj Finserv Consumption Fund comes at a time when the consumption sector in India is growing rapidly and is projected to experience a boom. The rise in domestic demand will be spurred by a rapidly growing middle class, increasing per-capita income, growing disposable incomes, and technological advancements that have made purchasing quicker and more convenient.

The Bajaj Finserv Consumption Fund follows a megatrends approach. Megatrends are large, significant, and sweeping shifts that influence economies, societies, and geographies.

These trends tend to have lasting impact, and investing in them early on offers significant long-term growth potential. You can also invest in the Bajaj Finserv Consumption Fund online or offline through Bajaj Finserv AMC, our Registrar and Transfer Agent KFintech, registered mutual fund distributors, and aggregator platforms. Investments (both lumpsum and SIP) start at Rs. 500. You can also use tools such as a compounding interest calculator for help in planning your investments.

Bajaj Finserv Consumption Fund - Regular & Direct Plans

When you invest in the Bajaj Finserv Consumption Fund, you can choose between two types of plans: Direct Plan and Regular Plan.

Direct Plan

This plan is suitable for investors who prefer to invest on their own, without involving a distributor. Expense ratios are lower for this plan because the AMC does not have to pay a distributor commission. Over time, a lower expense ratio can result in slightly higher potential net returns.

Regular Plan

Here, you invest through a distributor who assists you with scheme selection and application. In return, the fund charges a higher expense ratio to pass on to distributors as a commission. However, the involvement of a distributor helps investors get tailored fund recommendations based on their goals and risk profile. A distributor also helps with investments, redemptions and all other mutual fund transactions.
