DSP Nifty Healthcare ETF (NFO) is an open-ended exchange-traded fund (ETF) launched by DSP Mutual Fund on January 11th, 2024. It aims to track the Nifty Healthcare Total Return Index (TRI), providing returns that mirror the index’s performance before expenses, albeit with potential tracking errors. There’s no guarantee that the scheme will achieve its objective. The minimum investment amount is Rs 5,000, and there’s no entry load. For redemptions in creation unit size (bulk amount), there’s no exit load, while redemptions in other unit sizes can only be done through exchange transactions and don’t incur any exit load.

The scheme seeks to provide returns that, before expenses, correspond to the total return of the underlying index (Nifty Healthcare Index), subject to tracking error.
