Best Sensex Index Mutual Funds for Investments 2025 - 2026

Updated on December 24, 2025 , 63519 views

Index Funds refer to the Mutual Fund schemes whose Portfolio comprises of shares that form part for a certain benchmark Market index. These funds follow a passive strategy wherein; they try to replicate the performance of an index. The portfolio of these schemes will have shares in the same proportion as they are in the benchmark index. The performance of these schemes depends on the performance of the respective benchmark. Sensex Index Mutual Funds refer to the index funds that use BSE Sensex as the benchmark to construct their portfolio. As you can't invest directly in the indices, people try to these proxies of index. Let's understand the concept of index funds.

Illustration:

If the proportion of ONGC Limited shares in a Sensex is 15% then, even the Sensex index fund's portfolio will allocate 15% of its fund money in ONGC shares.
