PSU mutual funds concentrate on investing in stocks of Indian public sector undertakings (PSUs), which are entities owned or controlled by the government at the central or state level.

 PSUs span various sectors like banking and financial services, oil and gas, power and utilities, mining and metals, transportation and logistics, defence and aerospace, and engineering and construction.

PSU mutual funds fall under the equity fund category due to their predominant investment in equity and equity-related instruments of PSUs.

While they are part of the equity fund category, PSU mutual funds differ from other equity funds due to their specific theme, risk profile, and expected returns.

PSU mutual funds offer stability due to PSUs enjoying government support, a dominant market position, strong cash flows, and low debt levels.


These funds exhibit low correlation with other equity funds since they are influenced by distinct factors such as government policies and regulations.

PSUs may be undervalued or underappreciated in the market due to factors like inefficiency and lack of transparency.

PSU mutual funds are well-suited for investors with advanced knowledge of macro trends, a high-risk appetite, and a long-term investment horizon.
