DSP Nifty Bank Index Fund will be managed passively with investments in stocks in the same proportion as in Nifty Bank Index.

A small portion of the net assets will be held as cash & cash equivalent. The scheme's investment strategy may be reviewed and modified as deemed necessary in the best interest of unit holders and market conditions.
