The minimuminitial investment will be ₹5,000 and subsequently ₹1,000 per folio.

The scheme will invest predominantly in stocks constituting the underlying index in approximately the same weight they represent in the index or investing in derivatives including futures contracts on the said index.

It will also invest in money market instruments, repos in the form of investment, where the counterparty is rated not below investment grade, derivatives traded on recognised stock exchanges for hedging and portfolio balancing with underlying as securities.
