Do equal50 and equal50add have same NAV?
Let me look up the current NAVs for both ETFs directly.No, EQUAL50ADD and EQUAL50 do NOT have the same NAV. Despite tracking the same underlying index (Nifty 50 Equal Weight TRI), their absolute NAVs are different:
| ETF | Approx. NAV | Close Price (5 Aug 26) |
|---|---|---|
| DSP Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETF (EQUAL50ADD) | ~₹343–352 | ₹352.83 |
| Mirae Asset Nifty50 Equal Weight ETF (EQUAL50) | ~₹334–339 | ₹339.49 |
Why the NAVs differ:
Both ETFs track the same index, but they were launched at different times with different starting NAVs:
- DSP (EQUAL50ADD) — launched Nov 2021; started at ₹100 or thereabouts, now ~₹343 NAV
- Mirae Asset (EQUAL50) — launched May 2025; started at ₹100 or thereabouts, now ~₹334 NAV
Since NAV is simply the cumulative value of a single unit since inception, the older fund naturally diverges. What matters is not the absolute NAV but the percentage returns, which are nearly identical because both track the same index. On the screen, they trade at different unit prices but deliver virtually the same exposure per rupee invested.
