*Index Funds should form part of your Core portfolio.
What is an Index Fund?
- Let’s say your investments are cricketers competing in series of matches over a long
period of time (your investment term in the market). - Each cricketer represents a company you are invested in through an index fund.
- Each team is an index fund representing the best players in the country.
- A cricketer will be replaced if there are better players or if his long term performance
starts dropping. - This process of churn ensures that only the best performing cricketers (investments)
are chosen to represent the country/team (Index Fund). - Also, the best players (performing companies) keep replacing the ones who retire
(companies that have stopped functioning). - In the end, with index funds you are rewarded with the best performing companies
(cricketers) over your investment term (matches). - Just like in cricket, in an index fund, performers stay and non performers are removed.

Index Funds and Mutual Funds
What’s the Difference?


Index Funds – Cost Matters Hypothesis
- Every year, Rs. 15,000 cr commission* is deducted from investor’s MF investments
- India is one of the highest cost MF markets globally^
- The table below shows the impact of cost over a 10-25 year horizon how even if a regular mutual
fund is able to keep up with index returns but charges 2% vs Index Fund charging 0.2% - The gap opens up after year 10 and keeps compounding
