NFO: Tata Asset Management launches alpha-based passive fund - Check subscription dates and other details

The Index’s methodology measures excess return generated by the portfolio relative to its benchmark index Nifty200 after adjusting for risk and volatility. Based on the alpha factor, the fund identifies and includes stocks that generate returns above the broad market return and risk-free return, giving more importance to stocks which generate high excess returns per unit of risk. 

The Nifty200 Alpha 30 Index methodology measures excess investment return relative to the Benchmark index Nifty200 using 1 year trailing price. Top 30 stocks with highest Jensen’s Alpha are chosen, allocating more weight to stocks which generate high Alpha per unit of risk, i.e., volatility. 

Index is re-balanced on a quarterly basis using data ending last trading day of February, May, August, and November. The stocks should have a minimum listing history of 1 year as on the cut-off date and should be available for trading in derivative segment (F&O) as on the effective date.

The fund will re-open for subscriptions on or before September 11, 2024.

The minimum application amount during the NFO is ₹5,000, and there is no entry load.

However, an exit load of 0.25% applies if units are redeemed within 15 days of allotment.
