As per the Scheme Information Document, HDFC Nifty Realty Index Fund will be managed passively with investments in stocks comprising the Underlying Index subject to tracking error.
The investment strategy 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. Since the Scheme is index fund, it will only invest in securities constituting the Underlying Index.
HDFC Nifty Realty Index Fund’s performance will be benchmarked against Nifty Realty Index. The underlying index is designed to reflect the behaviour and performance of the companies that are engaged into construction of residential & commercial real estate properties and it comprises of maximum of 10 stocks.
The scheme will be managed by Mr Niman Morakhia and Mr Arun Agarwal
