Market Impact: Low - This is a routine NFO launch for a passive index fund tracking BSE SENSEX. It provides investors with another option for index-based investing through ZERODHA Mutual Fund.
Operational Impact: Low to Medium for BSE StAR MF platform members - Members need to follow standard NFO procedures including fund settlement timelines, transaction cancellation protocols for unfunded orders, and extended trading hours management. The clear funds deadline and switch transaction rules require operational attention during the NFO period.
