Bajaj Allianz to start a mutual fund

April 20, 2009August 20, 2014Editor

Bajaj Finserv and Allianz Global Investors will set up an 49:51 joint venture to promote a mutual fund. The new company will apply to the relevant authorities, including Sebi for permission to start a new mutual fund. The JV will come up when the uptrend in stock markets is making investors wonder if the bottom is behind them.

Sebi has stuck to its word and banned the entry load on direct investments in mutual funds (without going through an agent/broker/collecting bank). It’s a welcome step as it instantly adds about 2% more to the capital invested by an investor, and hence the overall returns go up significantly in the longer run.
