Benchmark

The Nifty500 Multicap 50:25:25 Index has been selected as the benchmark for the scheme. The above Index has been chosen as the benchmark since the Scheme will invest in stocks which are constituents of the Nifty500 Multicap 50:25:25 Index.

Scheme Investment Strategies

The HDFC Nifty500 Multicap 50:25:25 Index Fund will be invested in equities that make up the Underlying Index, subject to tracking error, and managed passively. The strategy is to minimise tracking error by periodically rebalancing the portfolio while accounting for changes in the weights of the companies in the Index and incremental collections/redemptions in the Scheme.

A portion of the funds could be invested in debt and money market products to satisfy liquidity needs. The Scheme will only invest in the securities that make up the Underlying Index because it is an index fund. Nonetheless, the Scheme may allocate securities that are not included in the index due to corporate actions at the businesses that make up the index.
