Mirae Asset launches new ETF focused on high-growth mid and small cap companies

Mirae Asset Mutual Fund announced the launch of a new Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) called the Nifty MidSmallcap400 Momentum Quality 100 ETF. This ETF offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to high-growth potential mid-cap and small-cap companies in India.

The New Fund Offer (NFO) for the Mirae Asset Nifty MidSmallcap400 Momentum Quality 100 ETF opened on 6 May 2024 and closes on 17 May 2024. The scheme will reopen for continuous purchase and redemption on 23 May 2024. The ETF is managed by Ekta Gala and Vishal Singh.

The key feature of this ETF is its focus on investing in mid-cap and small-cap stocks selected based on a combination of two factors: momentum and quality. The ETF targets companies with strong financials (quality) and recent positive stock price movement (momentum). Historically, this strategy has led to a better return-to-risk ratio compared to traditional ETFs that focus solely on market capitalization within the mid-cap and small-cap segments.

The ETF tracks the Nifty MidSmallcap400 Momentum Quality 100 Index, which boasts a strong track record over the past 15 years. The index has delivered a 26.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over 15 years, outperforming both the Nifty MidSmallcap400 Index (by 4.9% with lower risk) and the benchmark Nifty 50 Index (by 10.9% on a CAGR basis). Additionally, the index has outperformed a significant portion of actively managed mid-cap funds (regular plan) in the last year and 10 years, at 86% and 100% respectively.
