The New Fund Offer (NFO) of the HDFC Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index Fund opened on October 5 and will close on October 19, 2026.
The open-ended fund will track the Nifty LargeMidcap250 Plus 8-13 yr G-Sec 70:30 Index (TRI).
What does the fund invest in?
The scheme will allocate 70% of its portfolio to the Nifty LargeMidcap 250 Index and 30% to the Nifty 8-13 yr G-Sec Index. The underlying index will be rebalanced every month.
The Nifty LargeMidcap 250 Index consists of 100 large-cap and 150 mid-cap companies, with an overall 50% weight each to the large-cap and mid-cap segments.
The debt allocation will comprise the three most liquid Government of India securities with residual maturities of eight to 13 years, based on traded value.
What are the risks?
The fund’s equity allocation means its value will be affected by movements in the stock market, while the mid-cap component can add to volatility.
The government securities carry relatively low credit risk, but their prices can fluctuate with interest rates. Longer-maturity bonds are generally more sensitive to changes in yields, which can affect the debt portion’s value.As an index fund, returns can also differ from those of the underlying index because of factors such as expenses and tracking error.
The 70:30 allocation is maintained through the index methodology and does not provide any assurance of returns or protection against losses.
Other details
The fund has nil entry and exit load. The minimum investment is ₹100 during the NFO and after the scheme reopens for subscriptions and redemptions.
The scheme will be managed by Nandita Menezes, Arun Agarwal and Sankalp Baid.
