ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has filed offer document with Sebi to launch ICICI Prudential Nifty Junior Index Fund. It is an open ended index fund. The face value of the new issue will be Rs 10 per unit.
The investment objective of the scheme is to invest in companies whose securities are included in Nifty Junior Index and to endeavor to achieve the returns of the above index as closely as possible, though subject to tracking error. The fund intends to track only 90-95% of the Index i.e. it will always keep cash balance between 5-10% of the Net Assets to meet the redemptions and other liquidity requirements. However, as and when the liquidity in the Index improves the fund intends to track upto 100% of the Index.
The fund will not seek to outperform the CNX Nifty Junior. The objective is that the performance of the NAV of the fund should closely track the performance of the CNX Nifty Junior over the same period subject to tracking error.
