Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, stated, by combining momentum and quality, the new fund selects stocks with strong financial health, earnings stability, and consistent fundamentals, while capturing market trends and reducing risk, especially in midcap and smallcap segments.

The funds will invest in all the constituents of the Nifty500 Multicap Momentum Quality 50 Index in the same proportion as the underlying index. The scheme aims to leverage two complementary factors – momentum and quality, to deliver consistent risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.

The initial investment in the Index Fund can be a lump sum and SIP of ₹100 per application, with increments of ₹1 thereafter and investment in the ETF can be a minimum subscription amount of Rs. 5,000 and in multiples of Re. 1 thereafter.
