Edelweiss Mutual Fund Launches India's First REIT-Oriented Index Fund
Edelweiss Mutual Fund is launching India's first REIT-oriented mutual fund, the Edelweiss Nifty REITs Realty Index Fund, with its NFO opening on August 5. The passive, open-ended fund will track the Nifty REITs Realty Total Return Index, providing investors exposure to listed REITs and real estate companies. The fund aims to offer a simpler, more tax-efficient way to invest in India's commercial real estate sector without direct property purchase, addressing challenges like high capital requirements and illiquidity.
