The New Fund Offer (NFO) is currently open for subscription and will close on June 11. The scheme will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase on or before June 25.

The investment objective of the scheme is to generate long-term capital growth by investing in securities of the Nifty 500 Low Volatility 50 Index in the same proportion/weightage, with the aim of providing returns (before expenses) that closely track the total return of the index, subject to tracking errors.

During the NFO period, the minimum investment amount is Rs 500, with subsequent investments in multiples of Re 1. Units will be allotted in whole figures, and any balance amount, if below the minimum, will be refunded.

The passive fund will allocate 95–100% of its assets to the constituents of the Nifty 500 Low Volatility 50 Index, and 0–5% to money market instruments, debt securities, and/or units of debt/liquid schemes of domestic mutual funds.
