The pros, cons, and key takeaway of the first passive fund in flexicap category

The Nifty 500 Flexicap Quality 30 Index Fund tracks an index combining momentum and quality filters, addressing gaps in typical flexicap fund allocations, which often favor large-cap stocks. Initially designed for diversification across large, mid, and small caps, flexicap funds tend to be large-cap centric. A rule-based flexicap fund can bridge this gap. Investors need to assess whether such a fund aligns with their investment strategy before investing.
