However, there is no guarantee or assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.
Investment focus and asset allocation strategy The scheme is a low-cost index Fund which tracks the Nifty Midcap 150 Index passively. The scheme endeavors to achieve return equivalent to underlying index while minimizing tracking error. UTI Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund will be managed passively with investments in stocks comprising the Underlying Index subject to tracking error. The investment strategy would revolve around reducing the tracking error to the least possible through regular rebalancing of the portfolio, taking into account the change in weights of stocks in the Index as well as the incremental collections/redemptions in the Scheme. A part of the funds may be invested in debt and money market instruments, to meet liquidity requirements. Since the Scheme is index fund, it will only invest in securities constituting the Underlying Index. As part of the Fund Management process, the Scheme may use derivative instruments such as index futures and options, or any other derivative instruments that are permissible or may be permissible in future under applicable regulations. The Scheme intends to use derivatives for the purpose of hedging and portfolio balancing.
