Pros:
No fund manager bias or human intervention
It focuses on India’s top 50 listed companies that are well-established and have a history of solid performance
No exit load is applicable
It is completely Sectoral and Style Agnostic
Since it mirrors the index, the cost is low
Cons:
It is Limited to just Nifty 50 Universe
The weightage of each stock is directly linked to the index and cannot be actively changed at any point in time
It is restricted to only a specific market capitalization

This fund does not have active management but focuses more on the Nifty 50's stability and its historical capacity for inflation-beating returns. There is no filter used in selecting these stocks as every single one of them is included in a specific proportion which makes it a risky bet but, at the same time, removes manual intervention to churn stocks.
It is of utmost importance that the fund is discussed with your financial advisor and then ascertain whether it is suitable to invest in. Always read the scheme documents thoroughly before investing.
