SBI Nifty 500 Index Fund: Complete Overview

SBI Mutual Fund launches SBI Nifty 500 Index Fund under its AMC SBI Funds Management Limited. This is an open-ended scheme that aims to replicate or track the Nifty 500 Index that involves top 500 Stocks by market cap across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap segments. 

The primary objective of the SBI Nifty 500 Index Fund is to deliver returns that, subject to tracking error, match the total return of the securities as represented by the underlying index.

The SBI Nifty 500 Index Fund NFO has a subscription amount of Rs.5000 and in multiples of Rs.1. The new fund offer will expire on September 24, 2024, however, subscribers may begin participating in this SBI NFO on September 17, 2024. This mutual fund scheme will be open for ongoing sale and repurchase within 5 business days from the date of allotment. The plan has a very high level of risk. It is not assured that the investing objective of the program will be achieved.

The SBI Nifty 500 Index Fund Scheme will invest 95-100% of its securities in the Nifty 500 Index Fund and 0-5% in Government Securities including Triparty Repo & liquid mutual fund units.

MD & CEO of SBI Funds Management Shamsher Singh said, "The SBI Nifty 500 Index Fund offers a comprehensive investment opportunity across India’s economy. Investors seeking exposure to large, mid, and small-cap companies at a relatively lower cost can consider this fund."

Deputy MD & Joint CEO, DP Singh stated, "This fund gives investors access to established and growing businesses in one product. It provides exposure to over 92% of the total market capitalization of listed companies, offering a broad sectoral and market-cap coverage."
