"More Than 100 NFOs Launched in 2025 – Which One Is Right for You?"

Over 100 NFOs Launched in 2025 in India — Did You Pick the Right One?

"All NFOs are not meant for all."

The year 2025 has brought a wave of excitement in the Indian mutual fund industry. With more than 100 New Fund Offers (NFOs) launched in just the first half of the year, investors are both amazed and overwhelmed. If you've scrolled through your financial news feed or browsed any investment app lately, chances are you've seen multiple NFOs flashing on your screen.

From thematic funds focused on infrastructure, manufacturing, and ESG, to index-based and passive funds, and even international and innovation-focused funds — the Indian mutual fund landscape is flooded with new products. But here comes the big question:

Did You Pick the Right One?

Investors often assume that "new" means "better," but in reality, that assumption can be dangerous. NFOs are marketing vehicles as much as they are investment opportunities. Many retail investors fall into the trap of investing without due diligence, lured by catchy fund names, limited-time windows, and promises of theme-based riches.

But here's a reality check: Not every NFO is designed with you in mind.

What is an NFO?

An NFO or New Fund Offer is the first-time subscription offer for a new mutual fund scheme launched by an AMC (Asset Management Company). Similar to an IPO (Initial Public Offering) in the stock market, an NFO allows investors to subscribe to the fund at a fixed price (usually Rs. 10) before it gets listed and becomes a regular mutual fund offering.

Why Do AMCs Launch NFOs?

AMCs launch NFOs to:

• Capture market sentiment and trends

• Fill gaps in their product offerings

• Attract investor attention with fresh ideas

• Capitalize on themes like technology, energy, PSU, infra, or global exposure

And 2025 has been a perfect storm for such launches.

According to AMFI reports, more than 100 NFOs have already been launched till mid-year — breaking all previous records.

The Problem: Investing in Every NFO

While variety is good, too much of it leads to confusion and misallocation. Investors today are bombarded with:

• Fund names like "Innovation 30," "Green Energy 100," or "India Rising Opportunities"

• Targeted ads saying "Don't miss out on the next big thing"

• Influencer videos showcasing "Top 3 NFOs to invest in now"

In this noise, even seasoned investors make decisions based on FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) rather than strategy.

But investing should never be impulsive. It should be goal-based, risk-adjusted, and portfolio-aligned.

Why All NFOs Are Not Meant for All

Let’s bust this myth: Not every NFO is a golden opportunity.

Here’s why:

1. Lack of Performance History

Unlike established funds, NFOs have no track record. You’re investing blind, relying only on a concept or theme.

2. Marketing vs Merit

Many NFOs are launched to ride trends. Just because a theme is hot doesn’t mean it’s sustainable or suitable for you.

3. Portfolio Overlap

You might already own funds that cover similar themes or sectors. Investing in a similar NFO only leads to redundancy.

4. Misalignment with Goals

An aggressive thematic NFO may not suit a conservative investor saving for retirement. Misalignment leads to disappointment.

5. Entry Load Illusion

Many people believe buying at Rs. 10 is "cheap." But NAV is not the only indicator of value. What matters is how the fund performs after launch.

How to Evaluate if an NFO is Right for You?

Before you invest in an NFO, ask:

• What is the investment objective of the fund?

• What theme or sector does it follow? Is it relevant for the next 5–10 years?

• Who is managing the fund? What’s their track record?

• Is the NFO adding value or just repeating what's already in my portfolio?

• Is my financial goal aligned with this fund's risk-reward structure?

If you can't answer these confidently, you may be taking a shot in the dark.

Example: Some NFOs That Created Buzz in 2025

• Motilal Oswal Infrastructure Fund: Tapping into India's infra push

• Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund: Targeting high-growth small caps

• SBI Manufacturing Fund: Riding on "Make in India 2.0"

• HDFC Innovation Leaders Fund: Focused on tech disruptors

• ICICI ESG & Sustainability Fund: For the conscious investor

Each one has its appeal. But is each one for you?

Don’t Pick NFOs in Isolation. Plan Holistically.

When investors chase trends without a long-term view, they end up with:

• A scattered portfolio

• Over-diversification

• Conflicting strategies

Instead, your portfolio should be a well-constructed story. Every fund should play a role — be it equity, debt, hybrid, or NFO.

And this is where we come in.
