Kumari Equity Fund

Kumari Equity Fund (KEF) is a closed-ended mutual fund scheme promoted by Kumari Bank Limited and managed by Kumari Capital Limited, the investment wing of the bank. The fund is designed to provide long-term capital growth for investors by investing in a diversified portfolio of Nepalese equities, fixed-income securities, and other market instruments permitted by SEBON (Securities Board of Nepal).Launched with a fixed tenure (typically 7–10 years), KEF allows retail and institutional investors to participate in Nepal’s capital market through professional fund management. Because it is a closed-ended scheme, KEF is traded on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) just like ordinary shares, providing liquidity and price discovery for investors.The primary objective of Kumari Equity Fund is to generate competitive risk-adjusted returns by actively selecting stocks with strong fundamentals, growth prospects, and stable dividend-paying capacity. The fund manager Kumari Capital applies research-driven investment strategies, technical and fundamental analysis, and market risk management practices to optimize portfolio performance.KEF was established to support broader financial inclusion by offering a professionally managed investment avenue for new as well as experienced investors. Over time, the fund has gained recognition among market participants for its diversified holdings, systematic reporting, and transparent disclosures as required by NEPSE and SEBON regulations.Overall, Kumari Equity Fund serves as a structured investment solution for individuals who want to grow their wealth through Nepal’s stock market without directly managing individual stock portfolios.
