Nippon India Mutual Fund has launched two new index funds: Nippon India Nifty Bank Index Fund and Nippon India Nifty IT Index Fund. Both funds aim to offer investment returns in line with their respective benchmark indices – the Nifty Bank Index and Nifty IT Index – before expenses. This means the funds will passively track the composition of these indices, providing diversified exposure to the banking and IT sectors respectively.
Both funds are open-ended with no entry or exit loads and require a minimum investment of Rs. 1,000. The New Fund Offer (NFO) for both funds is open from February 5th to February 16th, 2024. Remember, investing in any mutual fund involves market risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
