Any update on Zerodha Fund House's NFO?

The title basically. Majority of my corpus has been built via SIPs in active midcap funds over the past 7 seven years, but I am eagerly waiting for a passive Large-Mid (50-50) product, as no large-mid active product have outperformed the benchmark after re-categorization. A couple of other fund houses do have have this fund but the tracking difference (SIP & Lump-sum) is close to 3%. Is Zerodha Fund House doing anything differently (specially on the technology front) to keep the tracking error/ tracking difference in check?

The issue with many index products today is that they’re essentially placeholders in the product lineups of AMCs. Many AMcs aren’t committed to low-cost products given the inherent conflicts in offering both active and passive. At the end of the day, ensuring minimal tracking isn’t really a tech problem because there isn’t any big secret here. To my mind, it’s just about being committed to offering the best experience to the investor. I know this sounds vague, but that’s all there’s to it. Moreover, we have an experienced team who’ve done this for years and decades starting with Vishal.
