Edelweiss Launches India's First REIT-Based Index Fund with 60:40 REIT-Realty Mix
Edelweiss Mutual Fund has launched India's first REIT-based index fund, the Edelweiss Nifty REITs Realty Index Fund, open for subscription until August 19. The fund offers investors diversified exposure to India's commercial real estate market through a 60:40 allocation between listed REITs and real estate companies. It aims to combine income stability from REITs with growth potential from realty stocks, providing a passive investment option accessible via mutual fund SIPs. Experts note its uniqueness but advise caution with new fund offers lacking historical data.
