Investment Objective
Bandhan Nifty Alpha 50 Index Fund seeks to replicate the returns from the Nifty Alpha 50 Index by investing in the underlying securities of the index in the same weightage or proportion, subject to tracking errors.
Investment Strategies
- Bandhan Nifty Alpha 50 Index Fund passively invests in companies included in the Nifty Alpha 50 Index in proportion to their weights assigned in the index.
- The scheme seeks to reduce the tracking error to the least possible by rebalancing the portfolio after factoring in the changes in the weights of stocks included in the index and the incremental redemptions/collections in the scheme.
- The index followed by this passive fund has been designed on the basis of ‘Alpha Factor Strategy’, which is primarily a strategy of investing in equities generating significant alpha (excess return over the benchmark for the same amount of risk) over the market. This strategy includes the systematic exclusion of securities having declining alpha
- The stocks included in the Nifty Alpha 50 Index are the top 50 alpha generating stocks picked from the list of top 300 companies in India in terms of free float market capitalisation.
