Notes

Bandhan Multi-Factor Fund is an open-ended thematic scheme that adopts a data-driven investment approach, leveraging a range of widely recognized quantitative factors. The goal is to construct a well-diversified portfolio, based on multiple factors, primarily consisting of large and mid-cap companies, aiming to maximize returns while effectively managing risk. The fund utilizes a proprietary multi-factor quantitative model. The model focuses on core factors such as Momentum, Low Volatility, Value, Quality, and Size, among others-each chosen for its strong academic foundation and empirical support. These factors are used to identify stocks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over time. Factors are broad, persistent drivers of return that have historically proven to be enduring. Individual factors tend to outperform at different points of time in the economic cycle. A multi-factor quantitative model`s premise is on combining fundamental factors and behavioural factors to achieve a more consistent return across market and economic cycles. Multi-factor investing is designed to harness incremental returns while seeking to manage risks. The broad characteristics of the factors are as follows:  Momentum: The momentum factor attempts to capture excess returns to stocks with stronger past performance.  Low Volatility: Low volatility investing seeks to build a portfolio of stocks that exhibits less variability than the broad market. This stability is generally attractive to investors seeking to reduce risk of the portfolio.  Value: The value factor attempts to capture excess returns to stocks that have low prices relative to their fundamental value. Quality: The quality factor attempts to capture excess returns to stocks that are characterized by low debt, stable earnings growth, and other metrics. Size: The size factor reflects the tendency for lower market cap companies to outperform larger companies over the long term By blending multiple factors that perform differently in different market environments, this strategy will endeavor to mitigate concentration risk and enhances overall portfolio stability. The commonly used metrics in each of the core factors are as follows:
