Sachin Bansal backed-Navi Mutual Fund has announced that its Nifty 50 Index Fund, which was launched in July 2021, has crossed assets under management of 500 crore.

According to the fund house, the scheme’s AUM has grown five times in the 15 months since its launch. It had collected over 100 crore during its new fund offer (NFO) period last year last year.

The five top stocks in terms of weightage are Reliance Industries Ltd. (11.69%), HDFC Bank Ltd. (8.37%), ICICI Bank Ltd. (7.92%), Infosys Ltd. (7.02%) and HDFC Ltd (5.69%)

Notably, out of 17 Nifty 50 index funds in the country, only seven funds have crossed the 500 crore AUM mark.
