It is an open-ended target maturity debt index fund investing in constituents of the NIFTY G-Sec September 2032 Index. Aditya Pagaria and Hardik Shah would be managing the newly launched fund and the minimum investment amount is Rs. 5,000/- and in multiples of Rs. 1/- thereafter.
The Axis NIFTY G-Sec September 2032 Index Fund is a passive fund that will allocate 95% to 100% of its portfolio to debt instruments and the remaining in Debt and Money Market instruments. It will follow a Buy and Hold investment strategy, where debt instruments will be held till maturity unless sold for redemptions/rebalancing.
