The Story in Brief
The BSE has enabled the SMART Switch feature on its StAR MF platform for the Bandhan Contra Fund New Fund Offer (NFO). The feature allows investors to automatically switch their investments from existing mutual fund schemes into the new NFO. Bandhan Mutual Fund launched the Contra Fund NFO, which bets on undervalued stocks likely to reverse course. The SMART Switch facility is available during the NFO period, giving investors a seamless way to reallocate funds. BSE's notice did not specify the NFO closing date.
The Indian Opinion
The BSE's SMART Switch gimmick feeds the narrative that every new NFO is a must-buy. But a contra fund bets against market trends and is inherently risky. This feature merely automates a switch; it does not improve the fund's odds. The real test remains: will investors actually use it, or will it just clutter the platform with one more option?
