Good to know

Nifty50 Equal Weight Index

This index represents an alternative weightage strategy to Nifty50. It includes the same companies as Nifty50. But unlike the Nifty50 index, wherein the weightage of each company’s stock varies, here all the constituents will hold equal weightage. Simply put, it measures performance of Nifty50 companies by allocating equal weightage to all of them.

Investment objective

The fund will invest in top 50 companies in the country, which are a part of the Nifty50 Index. The scheme will not carry any risk of concentration as equal weightage will be given to all the companies of the Nifty50 Index.  

For instance, in the Nifty50 Index, the top ten stocks have a weightage of 58.3%. But, the same top 10 stocks in the Nifty50 Equal Weight Index have a weightage of 19.7%. This means that the DSP Nifty50 Equal Weight ETF would spread the exposure equally.

Also, since its inception in 1999, the Nifty50 Equal Weight Index has outperformed the Nifty50 Index. Of the last 21 calendar years, the Nifty50 Equal Weight Index has given better returns than the Nifty50 index 12 times. 

Besides having the potential to outperform, this exchange traded fund (ETF) has other benefits such as being low cost, transparent and providing the simplicity of buying and selling units on the exchanges.
