Recently, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund announced the launch of two factor-based funds. The NFO opened on July 29 and is scheduled to close on August 12. The first of the two factor-based funds is Motilal Oswal S&P BSE Quality ETF & Index Fund, which aims to include “top 30 Quality stocks based on rule-based parameters”.


In a release, Motilal Oswal AMC said, “These companies tend to have durable business models and sustainable competitive advantages. The index constituents are selected from the universe of the S&P BSE Large MidCap Index.”

“The quality stocks are identified based on companies with high earnings, a better quality of earnings and lower debt. Over a long time horizon, it has been observed that such high-quality stocks tend to outperform low-quality stocks, as they are better equipped to weather adverse economic conditions," it added.

The other factor-based fund rolled out by the company is “Motilal Oswal S&P BSE Enhanced, Value ETF & Index Fund”, which aims to include “30 value stocks that are most attractive in valuations based on rule-based parameters”. Elaborating on the value stocks, the company said, “The value stocks are identified based on low Price to Earnings, Price to Book and Price to Sales ratios.”
