Taxation
Taxed as equityThis is an equity-oriented fund (≥65% in Indian equities), so gains get the concessional capital-gains rates below — they do not add to your income-tax slab.

Fund size over time
Quarterly average AUM · AMFIAt or near its largest, ₹1,677Cr in April - June 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.
Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.
AMC Profile
HSBC Mutual Fund is the Indian arm of HSBC Asset Management and has operated here since 2002. It roughly tripled in size by acquiring L&T Mutual Fund in 2022 and merging the two line-ups.

Focused funds hold a concentrated portfolio of at most 30 stocks. Higher conviction can mean higher returns, but a few positions carry more of the outcome — so more concentration risk.
Frequently asked questions
