What is a momentum fund?
Momentum funds follow a factor-based investing approach, selecting stocks that have demonstrated strong price performance over a certain period.
These funds capitalise on market trends, aiming to benefit from stocks that continue their upward movement.
However, they may experience higher volatility compared to diversified equity funds.
Key details of the fund

The fund has an exit load of 1% if redeemed within three months, but no exit load applies after that period.
