Index Fund kya hai?
Index Fund ek aise mutual fund hai jo Nifty 50 ya Sensex jaise market index ko exactly copy karta hai. Agar Nifty 50 mein Reliance 8% hai, toh index fund bhi 8% Reliance mein rakhega. Koi fund manager judgment nahi — bas copy-paste. Isi wajah se cost bahut kam hoti hai.
Expense Ratio ka fark
Active Fund: 1-2% expense ratio per year. Index Fund: 0.1-0.2% expense ratio per year. ₹10 lakh 20 saal ke liye: Active fund (1.5% expense): ~₹45 lakh. Index fund (0.2% expense): ~₹60 lakh. Sirf expense ratio ka ₹15 lakh ka fark! Compounding mein fees bahut matter karti hain.
Kya index funds better hain?
SPIVA India Report ke according, 10 saal mein 80%+ actively managed Large Cap funds Nifty 50 Index se underperform karte hain. Matlab active fund manager ke liye extra fee dene ka usually koi fayda nahi — zyataar cases mein index fund better hai.
