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
01What is an index fund?
An index fund is a mutual fund scheme that aims to track a selected market index, such as the Nifty 50 or Sensex. It invests in the securities that make up the index in line with the scheme’s stated investment strategy.
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.
04What is a Nifty 50 index fund?

06What are low-cost index funds?

07How can I compare index fund performance?
You can compare index fund performance across periods such as 1 year and 3 years, along with the expense ratio, benchmark, AUM and risk level. Historical performance should be used only as a reference and does not guarantee future results.
08Can I start a SIP in index funds?
Yes, you can start a SIP in eligible index funds through your Alice Blue account. A SIP helps you invest at regular intervals, but it does not remove market risk or assure returns. Check the scheme’s minimum SIP amount before placing an order.
