The PGIM India Healthcare Fund, a sector-focused equity mutual fund, will be introduced by PGIM Mutual Fund. The fund primarily invests in equity and equity-related securities in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries with the goal of achieving long-term capital appreciation. On November 19, 2024, the new fund offer (NFO) will go live.

A 0.50% exit load is applied if the investment is redeemed within 30 days, and the minimum investment amount is Rs 5,000 with no entry load. Mr Anandha Padmanabhan will oversee the fund, which intends to diversify across several healthcare industries, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare services, diagnostics, and medical devices.

Exposure to the changing healthcare landscape in India is the goal of the PGIM India Healthcare Fund-Regular Plan. The focus on pharmaceuticals, healthcare services, diagnostics, and related segments makes it an appealing choice for long-term, high-risk tolerance investors, even though specific performance metrics like NAV and AUM data are still pending. The competitive category returns reflect the potential for high growth in this space, but it’s important for investors to consider the associated risks.
