Index Mutual Funds to Invest
Index Mutual Funds
Index funds are mutual fund schemes that aim to track a market index, such as the Nifty 50 or Sensex. They invest in the securities that form part of the selected index, based on the scheme’s stated investment approach.
Index fund returns can vary due to market movements, expenses and tracking differences. Check the scheme’s benchmark, expense ratio and Riskometer before investing. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, and past performance does not indicate future results.

Index Funds – FAQs

02Are index funds risky?
Yes. Index funds are market-linked investments, and their NAV can go up or down with the value of the underlying index. The risk level depends on the benchmark being tracked. Check the scheme’s Riskometer and related documents before investing.
03How do index funds generate returns?
Index fund returns are linked to the performance of the benchmark index they track, after adjusting for scheme expenses and tracking difference. If the index rises or falls, the fund value may move in a similar direction. Returns are not guaranteed.

06What are low-cost index funds?

08Can I start a SIP in index funds?
