Know Your Fund Manager | Daylynn Pinto, Senior Fund Manager – Equity, Bandhan AMC

Let's start with your personal story

I was born in Mangalore, to a business family and have moved around quite a bit. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce (Sydenham, Mumbai) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM – T.A. Pai Management Institute), which laid the foundation for my career. My academic background and early exposure to the asset management industry helped in shaping my career in the equity markets.

How did you land up in this job?

My journey into the investment world began when UTI Mutual Fund recruited me from campus as a fresher. At the time, I had a limited understanding of the asset management industry and equity markets, but I quickly grew to appreciate the depth and dynamism of investing. Over the years, I transitioned from a research analyst to a fund manager, covering multiple sectors, from auto to infrastructure. This experience helped shape my approach to managing money. Today, at Bandhan AMC, I manage several investment strategies focused on delivering long-term value to investors.

Which funds are you currently managing?

At present, I manage Bandhan Sterling Value Fund with an AUM of Rs. 8,996 cr, Bandhan ELSS Tax Saver Fund with an AUM of Rs. 6,232 cr, Bandhan Multicap Fund with an AUM of Rs. 2,219 cr, Bandhan Multi-Asset Allocation Fund with an AUM of Rs. 1,760 cr, and Bandhan Transportation and Logistic Fund with an AUM of Rs. 476 cr. *(AUM data as on February 28, 2025)
