About Mahindra MF

Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund operates as an asset management company in India, structured as a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited (MMFSL) and Manulife Investment Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. . The entity was established as a trust on June 20, 2013, initially as Mahindra Mutual Fund, and received its registration from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on February 4, 2016, to commence business. A significant milestone occurred on April 29, 2020, when Manulife Investment Management acquired a 49% stake, becoming a co-sponsor and leading to the rebranding of the firm to its current name. The partnership leverages MMFSL's deep penetration in India's rural and semi-urban markets with Manulife's global expertise in wealth and asset management.

The company's headquarters is in Mumbai, India. Leading the firm is Anthony Heredia, who was appointed Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2022. Heredia is a Chartered Accountant with over 28 years of experience in the investment management industry, having held senior leadership roles at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Baroda Asset Management, and BOI AXA Investment Managers. His appointment followed the retirement of Ashutosh Bishnoi, who was instrumental in expanding the fund's presence across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.

Mahindra Manulife's business model centers on offering a wide array of mutual fund schemes to retail and institutional clients, generating revenue through management fees charged on its assets under management (AUM). The business has a particular focus on reaching investors in semi-urban and rural areas, aligning with the parent company MMFSL's established network. As of September 2025, the company managed assets worth approximately ₹31,673 crore. Its product portfolio is diverse, comprising around 26 schemes that include equity, debt, and hybrid funds. The offerings cater to various investor needs, such as long-term capital appreciation, tax savings, and short-term surplus parking. Specific products include large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, multi-cap, ELSS tax-saver, and aggressive hybrid funds, with minimum investment amounts for systematic investment plans (SIPs) starting as low as ₹500 for certain funds.

The company's investment strategy for equities is guided by an in-house model known as the GCMV (Growth, Cashflow, Management, Valuation) process. For debt securities, it employs a 'Risk Guard Process' for credit assessment and monitoring. This disciplined approach has contributed to the performance of its schemes, with its small and mid-cap funds notably outperforming their respective benchmarks in 2023. The business aims to provide straightforward investment solutions built on principles of transparency and disciplined research, combining global perspectives with local insights to serve its growing investor base.
