The fund manager for the SBI Nifty200 Quality 30 Index Fund is Viral Chhadva. NIFTY200 Quality 30 index seeks to combine the stock-specific quality factor used in active investment with the rules-based framework of passive investment.
The Nifty200 Quality 30 index includes top 30 companies from its parent Nifty 200 index, selected based on their 'quality' scores. The quality score for each company is determined based on return on equity (ROE), financial leverage (Debt/Equity Ratio) and earning (EPS) growth variability analysed during the previous 5 years. The weights of the stocks are derived from their Quality scores and square root of free float market cap. The stock weight is capped at 5%.
