It is a target maturity Index Fund whose benchmark maturity date is April 30, 2025. The new fund will track the CRISIL IBX 70:30 CPSE Plus SDL - April 2025 benchmark and the portfolio is specifically designed to invest predominantly in AAA rated Central Public Sector Undertakings and SOV-rated SDL securities.
The scheme seeks to provide returns that closely correspond to the total returns of the securities as represented by the underlying index. The CRISIL IBX 70:30 CPSE Plus SDL - April 2025 index contains 2 components as on the base date of index that are rebalanced every quarter

The launch will facilitate passive investing for debt investors by offering them a fund that has defined tenure of close to three years, allowing them to take advantage of low duration strategies.

This launch is another step towards building this segment into an attractive proposition for a broad range of investors.
On the launch of the NFO, Chandresh Nigam, MD & CEO, Axis AMC said, “As a fund house that is deeply entrenched in its philosophy of ‘responsible investing’ in quality assets, we aim at facilitating well-rounded solutions for investors. The launch of Axis CPSE Plus SDL 2025 70:30 Debt Index Fund’ aligns with our endeavor to strengthen our passive product suite over time. By offering investors an attractive debt strategy within the passive space, we want to introduce robust products that are relevant in the current context.”
