Samco Mutual Fund

What Samco Mutual Fund does

Samco Mutual Fund is a SEBI-registered asset management company (Samco Asset Management Private Ltd., registration MF/077/21/03) headquartered in Mumbai that offers a 13-scheme mutual fund product suite spanning equity (Flexi Cap, Large Cap, Large & Mid Cap, Mid Cap, Small Cap, Multi Cap, ELSS Tax Saver, Active Momentum, Special Opportunities), hybrid/multi-asset (Multi Asset Allocation, Dynamic Asset Allocation), and debt/arbitrage (Arbitrage, Overnight) categories. The firm is sponsored by Samco Securities Limited, the wealth-tech brokerage founded by Jimeet Modi in 2015, and benefits from a built-in distribution base of 250,000+ group customers.

The company's investment process is built around a stack of proprietary frameworks: the AI/ML-driven HexaShield quality testing system (which screens 67,000+ global companies and passes only ~0.18%), the C.A.R.E. Momentum strategy (Cross-sectional, Absolute, Revenue, and Earnings momentum signals) used across equity funds, the DISRUPTION model for special situations, the TRANSFORMER model for dynamic asset allocation, the EMOSI market-timing index, and the R.O.T.A.T.E. strategy for multi-asset rotation. The TimerSTP facility operationalizes EMOSI to vary systematic transfer amounts between 0.01X and 6X of the base installment.

Samco earns revenue entirely through management fees charged as a percentage of AUM, with disclosed expense ratios ranging from 1.63% to 2.62% across equity schemes and lower expense ratios on Direct Plans versus Regular (distributor-serviced) Plans. Distribution is hybrid: a direct-to-consumer digital platform at samcomf.com for self-serve Direct Plan investors, paired with a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD) onboarding portal at partners.samcomf.com for Regular Plan distribution. The AMC has been rapidly expanding its product line, launching four new NFOs between February 2025 and January 2026, and runs an active digital marketing and thought-leadership program through financial media channels.
