HDFC Mutual Fund has launched – HDFC NIFTY Midcap 150 Index Fund
An open ended scheme replicating/tracking NIFTY Midcap 150 Index (TRI)
Accordingly, the investment objective is to generate returns that are commensurate (before fees and expenses) with the performance of the NIFTY Midcap 150 Index, subject to tracking error. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realized.
Under normal circumstances, HDFC NIFTY Midcap 150 Index Fund will hold an allocation of 95% to 100% of its assets in Securities covered by NIFTY Midcap 150 Index and 0% to 5% in Debt Securities & Money Market Instruments, units of Debt Schemes of Mutual Funds.
As per the Scheme Information Document, the investment strategy for HDFC NIFTY Midcap 150 Index Fund would revolve around reducing the tracking error to the least possible through regular rebalancing of the portfolio, taking into account the change in weights of stocks in the Index as well as the incremental collections/redemptions in the Scheme. A part of the funds may be invested in debt and money market instruments, to meet the liquidity requirements.
HDFC NIFTY Midcap 150 Index Fund’s performance will be benchmarked against NIFTY Midcap 150 Total Returns Index (TRI)
The scheme will be managed by Mr Nirman Morakhia and Mr Arun Agarwal.
The NFO opens for subscription on April 06, 2023, and closes on April 18, 2023. The schemes will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase on Within five Business Days from the date of allotment.
The fund’s NAV is priced at Rs 10/- per unit during the NFO period. The minimum subscription amount is Rs 100/- and in multiples of any amount thereafter.
The scheme offers Regular Plan and Direct Plan each plan offers Growth option only.
