Conclusion:

This fund, when compared to other FOFs, doesn’t provide much of diversification since it mainly holds units of the Quantum nifty 50 ETF but for people interested in the index ETF this can could be an option since this FOF comes with the flexibility of a mutual fund, now you may ask why not choose existing Index funds that track Nify 50, you are right, however, Though the fund is not very unique when compared to other index funds it has lower expense ratio hence after considering all the factors, we would recommend that passive investors with long-term investment objective may consider this NFO.
