Comment from MD and CEO
Vinay M. Tonse, “As a fund house, we have built a strong franchise in the passive investment space, in addition to our actively managed funds. I believe SBI Nifty Next 50 Index Fund is a good opportunity for those who want to take advantage of the merits of passive investing and at the same time benefit from the growth potential of future market leaders which comprise the underlying index.”
