An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) tracking the Nifty 50 differs from an actively managed diversified equity fund mainly because the ETF:

An index ETF passively replicates the benchmark and is bought and sold on the stock exchange at market prices via a demat account. It does not aim to beat the index and does not guarantee returns, since tracking error and expenses remain.

  2. BTries to beat the index by taking concentrated stock bets
  3. CCan be bought only at the end-of-day NAV from the fund house by retail investors

Explanation

An index ETF passively replicates its benchmark and trades on exchanges at market prices, so a demat and trading account is used. It does not try to outperform, and returns are not guaranteed because tracking error and expenses exist.
