According to the scheme information document (SID), the minimum amount required for investment in Zerodha Nifty 50 ETF is ₹1,000 and in multiples thereof, during the NFO.

Who should invest in these funds?

According to the AMC, the funds are designed for investors who understand that returns can vary day to day.

According to the risk-o-meter, the funds invested in both schemes will be at very high risk. As per the SID, investors should consult their financial advisors if in doubt whether the product is suitable for them.
