[ C ] Our NFO Review
The Fund invests in 30 least-volatile firms in Nifty100 to reduce overall fluctuations.
The scheme would primarily invest a minimum of 95% and a maximum of 100% of its assets in stocks comprising the Nifty100 Low Volatility 30 Index and up to 5% in Government securities (like G-Secs, SDLs, and treasury bills), including triparty repo and units of liquid mutual fund.
It is important to note that the low-volatility strategy has typically underperformed during the highest returns of bull markets (given more defensive sector allocation), but with better resilience in downturns.
Overall, the NIFTY100 Low Volatility 30 TRI has delivered long-term returns close to the broader NIFTY 100, but with lower drawdowns during market stress
If you’re seeking a passive, equity index fund with a volatility-conscious approach, this fund could fit—especially for SIP investors. But given its brand-new status, it’s prudent to monitor early AUM growth and tracking error post-launch.
One should also compare it once established against similar low-volatility index ETFs for costs and performance. One can consider adding once the fund matures (3–6 months), giving time to assess tracking and fund scale.
