What is so unique about this Religare Nifty ETF Exchange Traded Fund?
In my honest opinion, there is nothing much unique about this Nifty based ETF from Religare, as compared to other Nifty based ETF's already available. This is just another Exchange Traded fund which will invest the money collected from investors into the stocks which constitute the Nifty index in the same proportion of the index constituents.
The asset allocation will be as follows:
95% to 100% will be in Indian equities in proportion of the index constituents

What are the risks of investing and trading Religare Nifty ETF Exchange Traded Fund?
Being an ETF, it comes with the advantage of real time trading and price fluctuations which can be beneficial for traders as well as investors. On the risk side, it is the same story as with an other ETF - the investors take the risk of overall market falldown and hence the value of the ETF units going down.
Final Thoughts about Religare Nifty ETF Exchange Traded Fund?
Just another ETF based on Nifty.
When it comes to ETF's, I dont advise investors to go through the NFO route, rather buy them directly on the exchanges once the NFO period is over and regular trading starts. Although withe zero entry load and zero exit load, investing through this NFO will be beneficial so as to save on brokerage charges during the buying leg, but the investor need to check this with the fund house.
However, if you apply through NFO, then you will have to apply with the minimum application amount.
