Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund has introduced the Motilal Oswal Contra Fund, an open-ended equity scheme that follows a contrarian investment strategy aimed at achieving long-term capital appreciation. The fund will be available for public subscription from May 8, 2026, to May 22, 2026. Investors can start with a minimum amount of ₹500 (approximately $6 USD) and can make additional investments in multiples of ₹1 thereafter. The fund's management team includes Varun Sharma, Bhalchandra Shinde, and Ankit Agarwal for equity investments, Rakesh Shetty for debt components, and Swapnil Mayekar for overseas investments. The fund seeks to capitalize on market mispricings caused by behavioral biases and aims to provide diversified exposure across market capitalizations for patient investors willing to stay invested for a full market cycle of three to five years. However, the investment carries a very high risk, and potential investors are advised to consult financial advisors to determine suitability.
