What ICICI Prudential BSE Power ETF will invest in
The scheme information document states the objective as: “The objective of the investment scheme is to provide returns before expenses that closely correspond to the total return of the underlying index, subject to tracking errors.”
How it compares with existing BSE Power index funds and ETFs
- 1 ETF already tracks the BSE Power, according to AMFI's NAV list.
What to check before investing in this NFO
- The ₹10 price is not a discount. Units start at ₹10 only to set the unit count. Returns depend on how the fund's investments move, in percentage terms, exactly as for an existing fund.
- Cost and tracking error decide the difference. Every fund on the same index holds the same shares, so the fund with the lower expense ratio and the smaller tracking error usually delivers more. A new fund's tracking error is unknown until it has run for a while; existing BSE Power index funds and ETFs already have a record.
- Overlap with what you already own. If you already hold a fund on the same or a broader index, a new one may add little: the underlying shares can be largely the same.
- Direct plan and costs. The direct plan pays no distributor commission, so its expense ratio is lower than the regular plan’s. Over many years the difference compounds.
- Buying and selling after listing. After the NFO, ETF units trade on the stock exchange, so you need a demat account. Check trading volumes and how close the market price stays to the NAV.
After the NFO closes
Units are allotted after the offer closes. The ETF then lists on the stock exchange, where its units trade during market hours.
Once a fund has a record, Genvest Research shows its returns against its benchmark, volatility and drawdowns.
Questions people ask
The NFO closes on 30 October 2026. Fund houses can extend or close an NFO early, so check the fund house's notices close to the date.
The minimum is ₹1,000 during the NFO, according to AMFI's listing. Units are offered at ₹10 each.
No. The ₹10 starting price only sets the unit count. What you earn depends on the percentage change in the fund's investments, which is the same whether a unit costs ₹10 or ₹500.
There will be no exit load for units sold through the secondary market on the stock exchanges where the Scheme will be listed. Currently, the Scheme is proposed to be listed on BSE and NSE. Investors shall note that the brokerage on sales of the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges shall be borne by the investors. However, during the process of creation/redemption there may be transaction costs and/or other incidental expenses (forming part of the Cash Component).
That depends on what you already own and why you would add this fund. A new fund has no record of its own, so compare it with existing BSE Power index funds and ETFs: their costs, their returns over several years and how much they overlap with funds you hold. This page explains the facts; it is not a recommendation.
