A NIFTY 50 index fund is a passive open-ended equity scheme that replicates the NIFTY 50 index by holding the same 50 stocks in the same proportions (by free-float market capitalisation weight) as the index, with the objective of generating returns equal to those of the NIFTY 50 Total Return Index (TRI) net of expenses and tracking error. SEBI ’s October 2017 categorisation circular permits AMCs to operate multiple index funds tracking different indices, making NIFTY 50 index funds the most widely available and oldest passive equity category in India.
