The expenses of the Fund of Funds scheme(s) will be over and above the expenses charged by the underlying schemes. The existence, accuracy and performance of the Nifty 50 Index will directly affect the performance of FIIF and FIDPEF. Tracking errors are inherent in any index scheme. At the peak of a bull market in FIDPEF, a portfolio balanced on PE ratios may not outperform a fully invested portfolio. In the event that the investible funds of more than 65% of the total proceeds of the scheme/plan are not invested in equity shares of domestic companies, then the scheme/plan TIEIF, FIBF & FIF may not qualify as equity oriented fund for taxation purpose.
