Zerodha Mutual Fund has launched a new fund offer (NFO) named Zerodha Nifty Smallcap 100 ETF.
This is an open-ended Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that will track the Nifty Smallcap 100 Total Return Index.
The NFO has already opened, and the last date to invest is 5 September 2025.
Purpose of the Fund
The aim of this ETF is to invest in all the companies included in the Nifty Smallcap 100 Index in the same proportion. This way, investors can get returns similar to the index itself.

The fund will be managed by Kedarnath Mirajkar.
Where Will the Money Be Invested?
The Nifty Smallcap 100 Index includes 100 smallcap companies from different sectors in India.
These companies have high growth potential in the long run.
However, their stocks are also more volatile and risky compared to large companies.

Want to invest for the long term
Believe in the growth potential of small companies
Are willing to take high risks
Prefer passive investing
Minimum investment: ₹1,000 (further investments in multiples of ₹100).
