Mirae Asset Nifty Smallcap 250 Momentum Quality 100 ETF aims to generate returns commensurate with the performance of the Nifty Smallcap 250 Momentum Quality 100 Total Return Index, subject to tracking error, the mutual fund house said.
Investment limit
The minimum initial investment during NFO in the scheme will be ₹5,000 and multiples of ₹1 thereafter.
Fund managers
The scheme will be managed by Ekta Gala and Vishal Singh, offering investors sector-agnostic exposure within the small-cap category by leveraging a combination of factors.
Investment strategy
Mirae Asset Mutual Fund aims to provide investors with a unique asset class within the small-cap category.
The ETF filters small-cap stocks based on parameters like liquidity, momentum, and quality (LQM).
By focusing on these factors, the fund seeks to offer a comprehensive approach to factor investing, utilising systematic rule-based approaches to achieve a desired performance profile, the fund house said.
Load structure
Entry load will not be applicable.
For investors transacting directly with the asset management company (AMC), no exit load will be levied on redemptions made by market makers/large investors directly with the AMC.
For investors transacting on the exchange, exit load will also be not applicable.
In mutual funds, the entry load is charged at the time an investor purchases the units of a scheme. While, an exit load is charged at the time of redeeming or transferring an investment between schemes.
Investment recommendation
Siddharth Srivastava, Head – ETF Product and Fund Manager, at Mirae Asset Mutual Fund, recommends considering investment in the Mirae Asset Nifty Smallcap 250 Momentum Quality 100 ETF.
"This multi-factor product focuses on Liquidity, Quality, and Momentum (LQM), making it the first of its kind in the small-cap segment. The ETF aims to track a robust portfolio of carefully selected 100 small-cap stocks from the Nifty Smallcap 250 Index, with the goal of potentially experiencing lower drawdowns," he said.
Given the current market valuations, Srivastava suggested that investors may opt for either a lump sum investment or consider a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) for a long-term investment horizon.
However, potential investors must carefully assess their risk tolerance and investment goals before considering participation in the NFO.
