Motilal Oswal Active Momentum Fund

Motilal Oswal Active Momentum Fund is a thematic fund from Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund. This page covers the direct plan, growth option, the version with no distributor commission inside its expense ratio. A fund in this category invests at least 80 percent in one sector or theme, so it rises and falls with that part of the economy rather than the market as a whole. It manages ₹1,364 crore of investors' money.

Its direct plan has returned 14.1 percent over one year; figures beyond a year are annualised, and past returns say nothing certain about future ones. The scheme is managed by Vishal Ashar. The riskometer places it at very high risk, where most equity funds sit.
