Details of the scheme:
One Unit of Nifty BeeS is approximately 1/10th of the Hangseng Index, which is currently at 20000, so 1 unit would be Rs.2000. It will be listed and traded on the NSE -Capital Market Segment and is settled in the Rolling Segment on T+2 basis.
The fund is expected to be launched next month.
