Kotak Mutual Fund · Direct Growth · SEBI Category: Index/ETF
Kotak Nifty 50 Index Fund was launched in 2021 and has quickly established itself as one of the most cost-competitive Nifty 50 index funds in India with a very low expense ratio. Managed by Kotak AMC — one of India's most respected fund houses — the fund provides straightforward efficient Nifty 50 index replication.
Despite being a relatively newer Nifty 50 index fund, Kotak has leveraged its fund operations infrastructure to maintain excellent tracking quality from launch. The fund's expense ratio is among the lowest in the category, making it an attractive choice for cost-conscious investors who prefer Kotak's institutional backing.
