Synopsis
Passively managed funds are being heralded as superior alternatives to active funds. The latter are taking flak for failing to beat the index despite charging more for doing exactly that. Even as fund companies line up more ETFs and index funds, understanding these nuances will allow you to invest with the right expectations.
A few weeks back, new entrant Navi Mutual Fund created a buzz with its first offering—a Nifty50 index fund. At 0.06%, it has the lowest expense ratio among all index funds. Other index funds tracking either the Nifty 50 or BSE Sensex charge 0.3% in direct plans, on average. With several newer fund houses lining up offerings in this area, we could see a scramble for launching lower-cost index funds. This is just one part of the story.
