HDFC NIFTY Smallcap 250 Index Fund details, NAV, Portfolio, Returns, Peer Comparison, Fund Managers & Guidance by Chanakyamfguidance.com
NAV Growth: Rs 17.3474
Suitable For Which Investors?
When you invest for seven years or more, you can expect gains that comfortably beat the inflation rate as well as returns from fixed income options.
This is a fund that invests in smaller companies. Compared to those that invest in larger companies, such funds tend to fall more when stock prices fall. So while you can expect higher returns in the long term, there will be more severe ups and downs along the way.
Like for all equity funds, you must invest only through the SIP route.
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme seeks to generate returns that are commensurate (before fees and expenses) with the performance of the NIFTY Smallcap 250 Index, subject to tracking error.
