Difference between ICICI Nasdaq 100 index and Motilal Oswal 100 Nasdaq FoF?

[Pravi]

1) With both portfolio holdings being similar (if my understanding is correct), why does ICICI Nasdaq 100 provide lower returns than Motilal Oswal Nasdaq 100 Fund of Funds (FoF)?
2) What will happen if the INR starts appreciating against the USD?

As @helloworld mentioned Motilal Oswal is senior (2018) and they accumulated when the values were lower and ICICI is late to the party (2021) so the difference is visible.

1. ICICI directly invests in US stocks to simulate the NASDAQ trend. Motilal or any FoF invests in a US-based fund that invests in US stocks to simulate the NASDAQ trend. So ICICI is more accurate and quick to adapt the changes but has a comparatively higher fee while Motilal is less accurate but has a low fee.

2. Both rupee appreciation and depreciation will have an equal effect on both.
