Bandhan Corporate Bond Fund Hits 10 Years, AUM Crosses INR 15,000 Cr
Mumbai Feb 11: Bandhan Corporate Bond Fund is marking its 10th anniversary with a notable dual milestone—monthly average assets under management crossing Rs 15,000 crore and consistent outperformance over the past year, reinforcing its position as a preferred choice for investors seeking stability and predictable income.
Over the last one year, the scheme delivered a return of 7.37%, outperforming its benchmark during the same period. Since inception, the fund has demonstrated the power of disciplined fixed-income investing. A sum of INR 10,000 invested at launch has grown to INR 19,745 as of end-December 2025, nearly doubling investor capital over the decade.
Focus on safety and return optimisation
Managed by Suyash Choudhary and Gautam Kaul, the Bandhan Corporate Bond Fund follows a prudent investment strategy centred on highest safety-rated corporate debt instruments. The fund managers actively manage the maturity profile of the portfolio, enabling the scheme to optimise returns while maintaining a strong focus on capital preservation and credit quality.
This approach has helped the fund navigate multiple interest rate and market cycles over the past 10 years, making it suitable for investors with a medium- to long-term investment horizon.
Accessible and investor-friendly
The scheme offers easy access for a wide range of investors, with a minimum investment of just INR 100, making it suitable for systematic investments. For lump-sum investors, the minimum investment amount is INR 1,000, with flexibility to invest further in convenient denominations.
A decade of steady performance
As it enters its second decade, the Bandhan Corporate Bond Fund continues to focus on delivering stable income, lower volatility, and consistent risk-adjusted returns. With a growing AUM base, a strong track record of benchmark outperformance, and a conservative credit strategy, the fund remains well positioned to meet the evolving needs of income-oriented investors in a changing interest rate environment.
