As per SEBI regulations, any sector fund is required to invest at least 80% in the same sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Investment focus : <\/strong>Pharma mutual funds in India focus specifically on healthcare innovation, diagnostics, medical equipment and drug manufacturing. This way, investors can directly connect to the growth story of that sector.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difference from diversified funds : <\/strong>While diversified mutual funds spread investments across many different sectors (such as IT, banking, consumer goods), pharma sector mutual funds focus only on the healthcare and pharma industry.

Continuous increase in demand <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The demand for healthcare and medicines has increased rapidly after the COVID-19 pandemic. This has made \u201cPharma Mutual Funds\u201d an attractive option for investors as they offer stability along with good returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-2-export-boom-and-india-s-global-role\">2. Export boom and India\u2019s global role <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s pharma exports reached $27.9 billion in FY 2023-24, which is about 9.3% higher than the previous year. This growth was almost double the global average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India is now called the \u201cPharmacy of the World\u201d as it supplies more than half of the world\u2019s generic medicines.

Government initiatives <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme of the Government of India has given new impetus to the pharma sector. Investment and production capacity in projects related to drugs and medical devices have increased rapidly. These initiatives have made pharma mutual funds even more attractive for investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-4-strong-domestic-demand-base\">4.Strong domestic demand base <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing diseases, lifestyle challenges and ageing population in India are continuously increasing the demand for healthcare services.

Funds that consistently perform well are considered reliable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expense ratio : <\/strong>Sector funds often have a slightly higher expense ratio. Funds with a lower expense ratio can give better returns for investors in the long run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expertise of the fund manager : <\/strong>Since pharma is a niche sector, it is very important to have an experienced fund manager. Their research and selection capabilities directly impact the returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Volatility : <\/strong>Pharma funds are defensive in nature but during a bull run, they can give lower returns than sectors like IT or banking. Investors should be prepared for this volatility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Investment period : <\/strong>These funds are better suited for those with an investment horizon of 5 years or more. It is not right to expect them to last for a short period of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Who should avoid : <\/strong>Pharma funds are not suitable for investors who are looking for short-term gains or have very low risk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/best-pharma-stocks-in-india\/\"> List Of Best Pharma Stocks in India<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-risks-amp-limitations-of-pharma-mutual-funds\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_Limitations_of_Pharma_Mutual_Funds\"><\/span>Risks &amp; Limitations of Pharma Mutual Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sector Dependency : <\/strong>Pharma mutual funds invest primarily in pharma and healthcare companies. This means that if there is a downturn in the sector, the fund&#8217;s performance can be directly affected. For example, the success or failure of a new drug, competition and changes in demand in the market can directly impact the NAV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory Risk : <\/strong>The healthcare sector is heavily regulated. FDA approvals, new drug policies, changes in drug prices or new government regulations can impact the fund&#8217;s performance. Sudden changes in regulations can lead to fluctuations in the fund&#8217;s returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Volatility : <\/strong>The pharma sector is sometimes very volatile. Events such as the success of new drugs, expiry of patents, mergers or global health crises such as COVID-19 can impact the sector, leading to rapid changes in the fund&#8217;s NAV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquidity Risk : <\/strong>Some healthcare funds may have low liquidity. This means that if the investor wants to withdraw money immediately, it may take time. So invest only the amount that you can keep for a long period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Portfolio Diversification : <\/strong>Investment in these funds is limited to only one sector, so the risk can be high. Therefore, experts recommend that the portfolio should also be invested in other sectors and asset classes so that the overall risk is reduced and the investment remains safe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/mutual-funds\/top-fund-managers-in-india\/\">Top 10 Fund Managers in India<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to invest in the health sector, Pharma mutual funds are a practical option.
