How to Invest in Nifty 50?

There are many ways in which investors can invest in Nifty 50.

Buy individual stocks: Investors can buy stocks in the same allocation as the Nifty 50 index. But the problem with this method of investing in Nifty 50 is the availability of capital. To buy 1 share each of the Nifty 50 index, investors will have to shell out Rs 1.57 Lakhs (as of 13th October 2021). Retail investors might not have such a high investible corpus. Additionally, tracking and managing 50 stocks can get tedious.

Trade-in Nifty Futures & Options (F&O): Investors with limited cash can also invest in futures and options contracts with Nifty 50 as the underlying asset. But not all investors are comfortable with the F&O segment. Also, since these contracts have to be settled on the last Thursday of the month, investors might have to book losses which can be quite huge due to the high leverage available in the

Investing in Nifty ETFs: This is probably one of the best ways to invest in Nifty 50. With Nifty ETFs, investors can get exposure to the Nifty 50 index at a fraction of the cost. So, you don’t need to shell out Rs 1.57 Lakhs to buy 1 share each in the Nifty 50 index. You can get the same exposure with Nifty ETF Nifty BeEsETFs. Nippon India is one of the most popular Nifty ETFs in India. Nifty BeES are highly liquid and hence trading them is super convenient.

Investing in Nifty Index Funds: For retail investors, this is the best way of investing in the Nifty 50 index. Index mutual funds are passively managed and their aim is to mirror or copy a benchmark, in this case, Nifty 50. Availability of capital is also not an issue as Investors can invest in index mutual funds with as little as Rs 500 per month via a systematic investment plan (SIP). Investors are also free to hold their index fund units for the long term as there is no settlement date in index mutual funds.

Benefits of Investing in Nifty 50 Index Funds

Superior long-term returns: Index mutual funds have generated superior returns in the long term. In fact, in the last few years, they have outperformed actively managed mutual funds. Hence, investors must include index mutual funds for long-term wealth creation. The chart below shows the superior performance of index mutual funds.

*Data as on 13th October 2021 **1-year returns are absolute returns. Returns greater than one year are CAGR returns.

Inefficient mirroring of the Index: To get the best possible return in line with the Nifty 50 index, investors will have to accurately copy the index composition. This is not possible as partial ownership of shares is not allowed. For example, Eicher Motors Ltd has 0.58% exposure in the Nifty 50 index. The market price of Eicher Motors Ltd on 13th October 2021 is Rs 2,906. Suppose you are investing Rs 20,000. 0.58% of Rs 20,000 is Rs 116. But you cannot buy 1 share of Eicher Motors Ltd at Rs 116. Hence, exact mirroring of the index can be achieved only with Nifty BeES or Index mutual funds.

No Fund Manager Bias: When you invest in Nifty 50 index mutual funds, the fund manager does not aim to beat Nifty 50. His job is to simply mirror Nifty’s portfolio and performance. So, the fund manager is unable to increase or decrease the allocation of selected stocks where he has a strong bias.

Low Expense Ratio: Even actively managed mutual funds have Nifty 50 as their benchmark index. However, there is a huge difference between the expense ratios of actively managed mutual funds and index funds. For example:

The benchmark index for both Axis Bluechip Fund and HDFC Index Fund – Nifty 50 Plan is Nifty 50 TRI.
Despite tracking the same index, the expense ratio of Axis Bluechip Fund is 1.58%. While the expense ratio of HDFC Index Fund – Nifty 50 plan is 0.40%. A high expense ratio automatically reduces your fund’s return. Hence, index funds are ideal as they have very low expense ratios.

Rebalancing Hassle: The Nifty 50 index is evaluated and rebalanced twice every year. If you have bought individual stocks to replicate the Nifty 50 index, then you will have to rebalance the portfolio every time the index is shuffled. Apart from the hassle, you will also incur short-term capital gains tax, which will further reduce your profits. But in the case of index mutual funds, the portfolio is rebalanced automatically whenever the Nifty 50 index is altered.

Low Investment: Index mutual funds and Nifty BeEs are highly affordable. You can invest in index mutual funds with just Rs 500. This is not possible with Nifty F&O contracts as the initial margin requirements are high. Hence, index mutual funds are the best way to invest in the Nifty 50 index.

Th Only Disadvantage of Nifty 50 Index Mutual Fund

The only disadvantage of index mutual funds is that due to the passive management, the fund manager might have to give up lucrative investment opportunities. This is clearly visible in the difference in returns generated by active and index mutual funds. Let us revisit the Axis Bluechip Fund and HDFC Index Fund – Nifty 50 Plan example.

Funds	3-Years (%)	5-Years (%)	10-Years (%)
Axis Bluechip Fund	23.75	19.02	17.09
HDFC Index Fund – Nifty 50 Plan	20.79	16.99	14.26

Even though they are tracking the same index, the fund manager of Axis Bluechip Fund has the freedom to alter the fund’s allocation to high-performing stocks. This is why the fund has managed to outperform HDFC Index Fund – Nifty Plan consistently over the long term. This is why a healthy mix of active and passive funds in your portfolio is a must.

Nifty 50 is an allrounder as it is suitable for investors with various risk profiles. For instance, if you are an aggressive investor, then you can directly invest in Nifty futures and options. If you are a moderately aggressive investor then Nifty BeES might be apt for you. Even if you are a conservative investor, you can still participate in Nifty’s growth via an index mutual fund. But to do all this, you will first need a Demat account. So, stop procrastinating.
