ICICI Prudential, Wealth Company Launch Contrasting Mutual Fund NFOs
Two mutual fund companies are offering new investment funds.
ICICI Prudential’s fund can move between stock-based and debt-based funds.
It will use a valuation measure and economic indicators to decide how much to invest in each area.
The fund can also change the duration of its debt investments based on interest-rate and economic expectations.
The Wealth Company’s fund will buy shares of large, medium-sized and small companies.
It will choose individual stocks using company research and broader market trends.
Both funds start with a minimum investment of ₹1,000.
The ICICI Prudential fund is rated “Very High” risk, while the Wealth Company fund seeks long-term growth through diversification.
ICICI Prudential’s Dynamic Asset Allocation Passive FOF is open from August 26 to September 9, 2026.
The fund will shift among passive equity and debt schemes using the in-house Equity Valuation Index and other market indicators.
The Wealth Company’s Multi Cap Fund NFO runs from August 27 to September 10, 2026, and reopens on September 21.
The multi-cap scheme will invest across large-, mid- and small-cap stocks, with an indicative 25%-50% allocation to each segment.
Both NFOs require a minimum initial investment of ₹1,000, while the Wealth Company offers monthly SIPs starting at ₹250.
