NFO Alert: Edelweiss MF Filed SID For Edelweiss BSE Internet Economy Index Fund

Edelweiss Mutual Fund has filed the draft scheme information deed (SID) with the capital market regulator for floating a new fund offer (NFO) for Edelweiss BSE Internet Economy Index Fund. It is an open-ended index scheme replicating the BSE Internet Economy Index.

As per SID, the Scheme will offer two Plans:

• Regular Plan
• Direct Plan

The Direct Plan will be available exclusively to investors who purchase or subscribe to Units of the Scheme directly with the Fund and will not be offered to those who invest through a Distributor. If neither a Distributor’s Code nor “Direct” is specified in the application form, it will be considered a “Direct Plan” application.

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Edelweiss BSE Internet Economy Index Fund is to provide returns before expenses that closely correspond to the total returns of the BSE Internet Economy Total Return Index, subject to tracking errors. Edelweiss MF further clarified that there is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.

Investment Strategies

The fund manager of Edelweiss BSE Internet Economy Index Fund will adopt a passive investment strategy, investing in stocks in the same proportions as the BSE Internet Economy Index to achieve its investment objective.

The strategy will focus on minimising tracking error through portfolio rebalancing, taking into account changes in stock weights within the index and the impact of new inflows or redemptions from the Scheme.

A small portion of the net assets may be held in cash or invested in debt and money market instruments authorized by SEBI/RBI, including TREPS, or in alternative investments for TREPS as allowed by the RBI, to meet the Scheme’s liquidity requirements.
