This fund focuses on the 30 least volatile stocks on the National Stock Exchange, aiming to offer a smoother ride through market ups and downs. It's designed to keep your investments relatively stable, even in turbulent times.

The Nifty 100 Low Volatility 30 Index Fund is an open-ended scheme that tracks the performance of the Nifty 100 Low Volatility 30 Index, which comprises the 30 least volatile stocks on the National Stock Exchange. Because these stocks are inherently less volatile, the fund is relatively insulated from market fluctuations.

Nifty Low Volatility 30 Index Funds are not diversified across asset classes or market capitalizations, as they invest primarily in the equities of top companies on the National Stock Exchange. While the fund is less exposed to market volatility, the lack of diversification can increase risk.

The fund has a clear mandate regarding the equities it can invest in, which reduces the likelihood of errors or biases. However, since it focuses on well-established, low-volatility companies, the fund's growth potential may be limited, impacting potential returns.
