About the fund
This index fund follows the Nifty LargeMidcap 250 index, and invests your money equally between the top 100 large companies and the next 150 midcap companies. For example, if you invest ₹1000 in this index fund, ₹500 will mostly be allocated towards the top 100 largecap companies and remaining ₹500 will mostly be allocated towards the next 150 midcap companies.
The fund also offers an add-on tax saving benefit. Investments made into the fund (upto ₹1,50,000) can be deducted from your taxable income under the section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Investing in this fund offers a simple & optimized way to invest passively in the Indian equity market while diversifying across various companies, sectors and market capitalizations.
Midcap companies may offer better return potential compared to largecap companies, but may also be more volatile compared to the largecap companies. Therefore, by equally allocating your money between midcap and largecap companies, the fund aims to offer a good balance between risk & return for long term wealth creations.
The fund might be suitable for investors who are looking for investing with a long term horizon in mind. Investors can choose to start investing with an investment amount as low as ₹500.
