Best Index Funds 2024

Updated on August 8, 2025 , 2379 views

Index Funds refer to the Mutual Fund schemes whose Portfolio is constructed using a Market index as a base. In other words, the performance of an index fund is dependent on the performance of a particular index. These schemes are passively managed. These funds contain shares in the similar proportion as they are in a particular index.

In India, many of the schemes use Nifty or Sensex as the base to construct their portfolio. For example, if the Nifty portfolio constitutes of SBI shares whose proportion is 12% then; the Nifty Index fund will also have 12% equity shares.

What is an Index Fund

An index fund is a type of mutual fund with a portfolio constructed to match or track the components of a Market Index, such as the S&P Nifty 50 (NIFTY). An index mutual fund is said to provide broad Market Exposure, low operating expenses and low portfolio turnover. These funds adhere to specific rules or standards (e.g. efficient tax management or reducing tracking errors) that stay in place no matter the state of the markets.

Risks of Investing In Index Funds

No Flexibility of Index Mutual Funds

One major disadvantage of Investing in index funds is the lack of flexibility. Since the funds just track the index, they can miss out on the opportunity to make higher returns which may arise due to market anomalies and surprises that are not connected to the index. Typically, value stocks would find it very difficult to be part of an index.

Market Risk on Index Mutual Funds

Index funds have a direct relation with the market. So, when the stock markets fall as a whole, so does the value of the index mutual fund.

Despite having a few disadvantages, top index funds can be beneficial for investors who want to invest in equities with a minimal risk Factor. As per experts, investors are suggested to include 5-6% of Index Funds in their investment portfolio to make best out of their investment.

1. ICICI Prudential Nifty Next 50 Index Fund

The fund's objective is to invest in companies whose securities are included in Nifty Junior Index and to endeavor to achieve the returns of the above index as closely as possible, though subject to tracking error. The fund intends to track only 90-95% of the Index i.e. it will always keep cash balance between 5-10% of the Net Asset to meet the redemption and other liquidity requirements. However, as and when the liquidity in the Index improves the fund intends to track up to 100% of the Index. The fund will not seek to outperform the CNX Nifty Junior. The objective is that the performance of the NAV of the fund should closely track the performance of the CNX Nifty Junior over the same period subject to tracking error.
