Motilal
Oswal Mutual Fund is launching a new equity scheme that tracks the BSE 1000
Index, comprising the top 1,000 listed companies in India, making it one of the
most diversified equity indices in India.
Motilal Oswal BSE
1000 Index Fund..!
The New
Fund Offer (NFO) for the Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund now open and close on 2025 June 19.
The
benchmark to the Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund would be the BSE 1,000
Index, which is India’s broadest equity index, capturing the top 1,000 listed
companies across largecap, midcap, smallcap & microcap segments. The index
fund offers exposure to about 94% of India’s listed market capitalisation. So
far, the broadest equity index consists of the top 750 Indian stocks by market
capitalisation.
The 1,000
companies in the index are selected on the basis of the total market cap and
the index is reconstituted semi-annually.
By expanding
to 1,000 stocks from the existing broadest funds, the BSE 1,000 index includes
an additional 250 microcap companies, significantly increasing its sectoral and
thematic reach.
BSE 1,000
gives exposure to 57 industries against 52 in the Nifty Total Market Index,
which has 750 stocks.
Further, the
new index fund adds companies from under-represented segments such as
information technology (IT) hardware, digital media, specialty chemicals, niche
manufacturing, and domestic consumption plays.
Diversified equity exposure..!~.
According to
the Motilal Oswal fund, these companies tend to be under-researched as 87% of
microcaps have five or fewer analyst coverage, offering discovery potential for
investors.
The BSE 1000
Index Fund is a strong long-term investment vehicle for investors who want to
participate in India’s growth story in a low-cost, passive format — with better
diversification and performance potential than traditional benchmark indices.
The current
valuation of the BSE 1,000 is close to its long-term median P/E (price to
earnings), based on data over the past 7 years. Its current P/E stands at
25.37, below the last 7 year average of 27.05.
The Indian
market has corrected about10 percent recently, bringing valuations to more
reasonable levels. Broader market indices like BSE 1,000 appear to be in a fair
value zone, with select microcap and smallcap segments even showing pockets of
undervaluation. This creates a strong entry point for long-term investors
seeking diversified equity exposure.
What
should investors do?
This Motilal
Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund can be a very good fit for retail investors,
especially those who want a long-term investment without active stock picking.
If your
investment horizon is really long term say 5, 10, or 15 years this fund can
make sense. It’s ideal for someone who wants to benefit from the overall growth
of the Indian economy without missing out on any stock that could add value. It
is also a good option for investors who prefer passive funds that are
automatically rebalanced and transparent. While it is great for retail
investors.
