MFs back on fund raising spree


By fe Bureau
After witnessing a huge lull in the equity markets, fund raising by mutual funds (MFs) seems to

have caught up again. The MF industry has something to cheer about as Reliance Infrastructure

Fund has collected over Rs 2,500-3,000 crore in its new fund offer (NFO).

A senior official from the Reliance asset management companies (AMC) said, "We have received

very decent response from the NFO and we think that it has collected Rs 2,500-3,000 crore.

However, we will be announcing exact amount collected through the scheme within a few days."

This was an open-ended equity fund and was opened to public on May 27 and closed on June

23. The fund will invest significantly in equity and equity-related instruments of companies

engaged in infrastructure and infrastructure-related sectors such as transport, banks and financial

institutions, energy, power and oil, metals and minerals, telecom and urban infrastructure.
