HDFC Mutual Fund launches HDFC Innovation Fund


HDFC Asset Management Company, one of India’s leading mutual fund houses, has launched HDFC Innovation Fund, an open-ended, actively managed equity scheme aimed at investing in companies embracing innovative strategies across sectors.

The New Fund Offer (NFO) opened on June 27, 2025 and will close on July 11, 2025.

The fund seeks to capitalise on India’s rapidly growing innovation ecosystem, driven by technological advancements, a vibrant startup culture, rising digital adoption, and government-led initiatives. HDFC Innovation Fund aims to identify and invest in companies that are either pioneers or early adopters of new technologies, offering investors a chance to participate in India’s ongoing transformation.

The scheme will allocate at least 80% of its net assets to equity and equity-related instruments, focusing on three key areas: product innovation, process innovation, and business model innovation. It will adopt a bottom-up stock selection strategy, ensuring diversification across sectors and market caps while targeting high-quality companies expected to outperform their industry peers.

Investors can enter the fund with a minimum investment of Rs 100 during both the NFO period and after the scheme reopens for continuous purchase and sale. It offers both direct and regular plans, with growth and income distribution cum capital withdrawal options. An exit load of 1% will be charged if units are redeemed within one month from allotment; no exit load will apply thereafter. The fund will be benchmarked against the NIFTY 500 Total Returns Index.

Navneet Munot, managing director and chief executive officer, HDFC Asset Management Company, said, "At HDFC Mutual Fund, we continue to expand our investment offerings to fulfil our mission to be the wealth creator for every Indian and to meet the evolving needs of our investors. With our experienced investment team and research-driven approach, we aim to capture the long-term wealth creation potential of innovation-focused businesses."

The fund will be managed by Amit Sinha, fund manager and senior equity analyst, HDFC Asset Management Company. Commenting on the launch, Amit said, "The Indian Economy is at an exciting juncture with key pillars supporting the innovation ecosystem. HDFC Innovation Fund offers investors an opportunity to participate in India's innovation-led growth story by gaining exposure to companies adopting transformative strategies across products, processes, and business models."
