NFO Alert: Kotak Mutual Fund Introduces Nifty Private Bank ETF

Kotak Mutual Fund has opened the New Fund Offer (NFO) for the Kotak Nifty Private Bank ETF. The subscription period began on July 8, 2026, and will remain open until July 15, 2026.  

The scheme is an open-ended exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the Nifty Private Bank Index. The fund is categorised under ETFs and will be benchmarked against the Nifty Private Bank Index (Total Return Index - TRI). 

Investment Objective 

According to the scheme information, the fund aims to generate returns, before expenses, that correspond to the total returns of the securities forming the underlying index, subject to tracking error.  

As an index fund in ETF format, it will invest in the same securities and in broadly the same proportion as the benchmark. 

The fund does not follow an active stock selection strategy, and its performance will depend on the movement of the underlying index. 

Index Composition 

The Nifty Private Bank Index tracks the performance of listed private sector banks included in the index. It provides exposure to companies from a single sector through one investment vehicle instead of individual stock purchases. 

Since the scheme follows a sector-specific benchmark, changes in the performance of private banking stocks will have a direct impact on the fund's returns.  

Like other passive funds, a small difference between the fund's returns and the benchmark may arise because of expenses and tracking error. 

Scheme Details 

The minimum application amount during the NFO is ₹1,000, with investments allowed in any amount thereafter. The scheme has been assigned a Very High Risk rating under the riskometer. 

The ETF will be managed by Satish Dondapati, Jeetu Valechha Sonar, and Abhishek Bisen.
