What is the Nifty 100 Index Fund?

Ever wondered how you can invest in the powerhouses of the Indian economy? The Nifty 100 Index Fund offers access to the top 100 companies that lead various sectors. This fund gives you a chance to invest in India's largest companies. Let’s take a closer look at how the index works.

Nifty 100 index funds track the Nifty 100 index and invest in the companies included in the index. These top 100 companies are identified by their market capitalization and often include blue-chip firms.

The Nifty 100 represents major sectors of the Indian economy, offering investors potential sectoral diversification. However, because these funds focus on large-cap companies, they do not provide diversification across different market capitalizations.

Nifty 100 index funds are required to invest in companies that are part of the index, meaning they aim to mirror the index and cannot adjust holdings based on market conditions. One advantage of these funds is that they are less prone to human errors or biases, as they simply replicate the Nifty 100 index. However, because they focus on well-established companies with limited growth opportunities, their potential returns may be lower compared to more aggressive equity funds.

Index funds are subject to taxes on capital gains and dividends. Dividends are added to the investor's income and taxed according to their income tax slab. Capital gains are taxed based on the holding period: gains from units held for less than a year are taxed at 15%, while gains from units held for over a year are taxed at 10% if they exceed ₹1,00,000.

Who Should Invest in Nifty 100 Index Mutual Funds?

Index funds follow a passive investment strategy, which generally results in lower expense ratios. Since they invest in equity and equity-related securities, they carry higher risk and may not be suitable for risk-averse investors. Nifty 100 index funds are ideal for investors with a high-risk tolerance looking for a passive investment option.

Nifty 100 index funds invest in well-established large-cap companies, which may limit diversification across different market capitalizations. As a result, these funds may not be ideal for investors seeking broader diversification. Nifty 100 index funds are most suitable for investors with a long-term horizon.
