The NIFTY200 Momentum 30 Index selects top 30 stocks from the NIFTY 200 based on their Normalized Momentum Score.

Historical data demonstrates the index’s ability to outperform traditional market indices, hence investors seeking long-term growth opportunities could consider this as an option. With lower expense ratio and a focus on capturing market momentum, HDFC NIFTY200 Momentum 30 Index Fund is an investment option for investors looking to capitalize on prevailing market trends and secure potentially better returns over time.
