HDFC NIFTY 100 Equal Weight Index Fund(G)-Direct Plan
Univest 8 hrs ago·19 Sept 2026, 11:59 pm
This fund tracks the Nifty 100 Equal Weight Index, which includes the top 100 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange. Unlike a standard index fund that gives more weight to the biggest companies, this equal-weight approach invests the same amount in each stock. This means that mid-sized companies have a bigger say in the fund's performance compared to a standard benchmark.
For investors, this strategy aims to reduce risk by avoiding over-concentration in a few large stocks. It offers a way to gain broad market exposure while potentially smoothing out volatility. The fund uses the direct plan route, which typically has lower expense ratios than regular plans.
Investors should watch the fund's performance against the standard Nifty 100 index. While the equal-weight approach can differ significantly from a standard index, it remains a tool for diversified exposure. Keep an eye on the fund's expense ratio and how it handles market swings compared to a standard Nifty 100 fund.
