Risk Factors In Such Funds

The Scheme's success will be directly impacted by the Underlying Index's performance. A widespread fall in the Indian markets with respect to its Underlying Index could have an impact on the Scheme.

  • All of the firms from the Nifty 100 and Nifty Midcap 150 are included in the Nifty LargeMidcap 250 Index (TRI), also known as the ‘Underlying Index’ of which HDFC Asset Management Company Limited (‘HDFC AMC’) is one of the representative entities. As of August 30, 2024, HDFC AMC's index weight is 0.65%. The companies that make up the Underlying Index must meet the requirements for eligibility set out by the index provider. The index provider independently manages the overall index governance, HDFC AMC or its Sponsor / Trustee Company has no control or influence over this process.

  • Equities shares and associated instruments are prone to daily price swings and are considered volatile. There is some risk associated with investing in stock shares and equities-related products.

Conclusion

The HDFC LargeMidcap 250 index fund has been created with a vision to gain long-term capital appreciation by investors having a higher risk appetite with investments being made to large as well as mid-cap equities proportionately. On top of that the Fund takes a wider approach where it invests in approximately 250 different stocks across various sectors, therefore making it a stable investment with large-cap stocks while at the same time offering a growth potential with mid-cap stocks. 

This is however aggressive because of the market volatility associated with it and can only be suitable for people whose objectives are in line with it. Always assess your financial targets and take advice from a financial planner before making any investment.
