Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund introduces – Kotak S&P BSE Housing Index Fund
It is an open-ended scheme replicating/tracking S&P BSE Housing Index.
Accordingly, the investment objective of the scheme is to replicate the composition of the S&P BSE Housing Index and to generate returns that are commensurate with the performance of the S&P BSE Housing Index, subject to tracking errors. However, there is no assurance that the objective of the scheme will be realized. The scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns.
Under normal circumstances, Kotak S&P BSE Housing Index Fund will hold an allocation of 95% to 100% of its assets in Equity and Equity related securities covered by the S&P BSE Housing Index and 0% to 5% in Debt and Money Market Instruments.
As per the Scheme Information Document, Kotak S&P BSE Housing Index Fund will follow passive investment strategy with investments in stocks in the same proportion as in S&P BSE Housing Index. The investment strategy would revolve around reducing the tracking error to the least possible through rebalancing of the portfolio, taking into account the change in weights of stocks in the index as well as the incremental collections/redemptions from the Scheme.
The portfolio follows the index and therefore the level of stock concentration in the portfolio and its volatility would be the same as that of the index, subject to tracking error. Thus there is no additional element of volatility or stock concentration on account of fund manager decisions.
Kotak S&P BSE Housing Index Fund’s performance will be benchmarked against S&P BSE Housing Index (Total Return Index)
The scheme will be managed by Mr Devender Singhal, Mr Satish Dondapati and Mr. Abhishek Bisen.
The NFO opens for subscription on August 07, 2023 and closes on August 21, 2023. The schemes will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase within five business days from the date of allotment.
