How Frequently Do They Shuffle Holdings? (From Mid-Cap List or Overall)

"Shuffling" refers to changing the portfolio holdings, such as adding, removing, or adjusting stocks. This is measured by the portfolio turnover ratio (PTR), which indicates how much of the portfolio is bought/sold annually as a percentage of AUM. A higher PTR means more frequent changes (active trading), while lower means a buy-and-hold approach.

  • Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund: PTR = 142% (as of July 31, 2025; category average for mid-cap funds: 242%). This is relatively high, suggesting frequent shuffling—about 1.42 times the portfolio is turned over yearly. For mid-cap stocks specifically (its core focus), this implies adjustments every few months to capitalize on opportunities, though not daily for all holdings. The fund churns to optimize for growth, but it's not excessive compared to peers.
  • Bandhan Small Cap Fund: PTR = 36% (as of July 31, 2025; category average for small-cap funds: 110.55%). This is low, indicating less frequent shuffling—more of a buy-and-hold strategy with changes perhaps quarterly or semi-annually. The fund manager updates the portfolio less often than peers, focusing on long-term holdings in small-cap stocks (though it includes some mid-cap for diversification).

In summary:

FundPortfolio Turnover RatioShuffling FrequencyImplication
Motilal Oswal Midcap142%Moderate to High (monthly/quarterly adjustments)Active rebalancing to capture mid-cap opportunities.
Bandhan Small Cap36%Low (semi-annual or less)Stable, long-term holdings with opportunistic tweaks.

Do They Buy and Sell Daily? On What Strategy?

  • Buy and Sell Frequency: Neither fund buys/sells every stock daily—mutual funds don't operate like day traders. However, fund managers can execute trades daily during market hours (9:15 AM - 3:30 PM IST) if needed for rebalancing, inflows/outflows, or strategy alignment. Actual frequency depends on market conditions, not a fixed schedule.
    • Motilal: With higher turnover, trades are more frequent (e.g., weekly/monthly) but not daily across the board.
    • Bandhan: Lower turnover suggests infrequent trades, perhaps monthly or quarterly.
  • Investment Strategy:
    • Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund: Follows the proprietary QGLP framework (Quality, Growth, Longevity, Price)—investing in high-quality mid-cap companies with sustainable growth, long-term competitive advantages, and reasonable valuations. It's a bottom-up, concentrated approach (fewer stocks) aiming for long-term capital appreciation. The fund focuses on mid-caps with potential to become large-caps, using active management to adjust for valuations and growth prospects.
    • Bandhan Small Cap Fund: Employs a GARP (Growth at Reasonable Price) strategy with bottom-up stock picking, focusing on undervalued small-cap companies with growth potential. It's highly diversified (180+ stocks) with a "long-tail" approach—core holdings plus many small positions for alpha generation. Combines buy-and-hold with opportunistic picks in cyclical sectors.

Both are equity-oriented for long-term growth (5+ years horizon), with high risk due to mid/small-cap volatility.

Do They Buy IPOs?

Yes, both funds can and do invest in IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) if they align with their strategy and mandate.

  • Motilal Oswal Midcap Fund: Actively participates in IPOs, especially mid-cap listings. Recent reports confirm the fund manager has invested in IPOs to capture early growth opportunities, as long as they fit the QGLP criteria (e.g., quality businesses at reasonable prices).
  • Bandhan Small Cap Fund: Yes, it may participate in new listings (IPOs) as part of its opportunistic strategy, particularly small-cap IPOs with undervalued potential. The fund's documents mention looking at new opportunities in the small-cap space.

In general, Indian mutual funds like these often apply for IPO allocations (via ASBA or fund applications) to diversify and boost returns, but it's not their primary focus—IPOs form a small part of the portfolio if selected.
