Frequently asked questions

What is an Index Fund?
An index fund is a mutual fund that imitates the portfolio of an index. These funds are also known as index-tied or index-tracked mutual funds. These funds are passively managed as the main objective of index funds is to track and emulate the performance of a popular stock market index such as S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50. The asset allocation of an index fund would be the same as that of its underlying index. It is for this reason that the returns offered by index funds are comparable with its underlying index.
How do Index Funds Work?
When an index fund tracks a benchmark like the Nifty, its portfolio will have the 50 stocks that comprise Nifty, in the same proportions. An index is a group of securities defining a market segment. These securities can be bond market instruments or equity-oriented instruments like stocks. Some of the most popular indices in India are BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty. Since index funds track a particular index, they fall under passive fund management. The fund manager decides which stocks have to be bought and sold according to the composition of the underlying benchmark. Unlike actively managed funds, there isn’t a standalone team of research analysts to identify opportunities and select stocks as index funds track an index. While an actively managed fund strives to beat its benchmark, an index fund’s role is to match its performance to that of its index. Index funds typically deliver returns more or less equal to the benchmark. However, there can be a small difference between fund performance and the index. This is referred to as the tracking error. The fund manager must work towards bringing down the tracking error as much as possible.
Who should Invest in Index Funds?
The investment decision in a mutual fund solely depends upon your risk preferences and investment goals. Index funds are ideal for investors who are risk-averse and expect predictable returns. These funds do not require extensive tracking. For example, if you wish to participate in equities but don’t wish to take risks associated with actively managed equity funds, you can choose a Sensex or Nifty index fund. These funds will give you returns matching the upside that the particular index sees. However, if you wish to earn market-beating returns, then you can opt for actively managed funds. The returns of index funds may match the returns of actively managed funds in the short run. However, the actively managed fund tends to perform better in the long term. Investing in these funds is suitable for long-term investors who have an investment horizon of at least 7 years. These funds do carry market and volatility risks and hence suits only those willing to take some risk.
Why Should You Invest in Index Funds?
Index funds are considered one of the most secure equity funds as their portfolio consists of blue-chip stocks. These are the stocks of well-established companies with an excellent track record. This makes index funds less susceptible to market fluctuations and thereby offering much-needed stability. Indian benchmark indices NSE Nifty 50 and S&P BSE Sensex have performed overwhelmingly over the past three decades. They have fought several challenges such as the recession in 2008, the outbreak of several viruses (Zika, Ebola, SARS, H1N1, and so on), geopolitical tensions (such as Sino-American trade war) and so on. Despite such difficulties, the indices have gained significantly since their inception.
