NFO alert: Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund launched — here's all you need to know
Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund has announced the launch of 'Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund', an open-ended fund that tracks the BSE 1000 Total Return Index. Notably, this is the first fund to replicate the BSE 1000 Total Return Index, which covers approximately 94 per cent of the country's listed market capitalisation. It offers investors a wide equity market representation within a single index, the company said in a press release. According to the company, the new fund offer ( NFO) will open for subscription from June 5 to June 19, 2025. Investors can put in a minimum lump sum amount of ₹ 500, with subsequent multiples of ₹ 1. The company also mentioned that an exit load of 1 per cent will be applicable if the investment is redeemed within 15 days of allotment. No exit load will be charged after this period. The NFO is suitable for investors who are seeking long-term capital growth and return that corresponds to the BSE 1000 Total Return Index, although its performance may vary due to tracking error, the company said. The Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund includes companies across large, mid, small, and micro-cap segments, representing diverse sectors and industries - from traditional industries to cutting-edge technology. This index provides a blend of established companies and emerging companies across 22 sectors, reducing dependence on a few large stocks. To minimise risk, the top 10 stocks are capped at around 33 per cent of the total weightage. 'It offers exposure to a mix of established market leaders and emerging companies across 22 sectors, with the top-10 stock weight capped at ~33%, thereby helping to reduce concentration risk. The index also includes micro-cap companies, whose market capitalisation and liquidity have grown approximately 5× and 14× respectively over the past five years. All within a passive, free-float weighted structure with semi-annual rebalancing,' the company said in the statement. Delving into the asset allocation of the fund and associated risks, Pratik Oswal, Head of Passive Funds at Motilal Oswal, said BSE 1000 TRI is primarily a large and mid-cap index, which makes it 'relatively less risky'. 'Approximately 75 to 80 per cent of the index will be large and mid-cap. 60 per cent is large cap. So relatively, it's not a very risky fund. But, however, it's a 100 per cent equity fund,' Oswal said, adding that this fund will benefit investors who are looking at a long-term approach to investing. 'An investor should not look at it from a one or two-year perspective. It should be a minimum five-year perspective. That's important when you look at these sorts of funds.' He also mentioned that investors who are concerned about the returns getting diluted due to the over-diversification in the fund should note that this fund follows the 'Darwinism' approach in the stock market. 'If a stock is performing well in the current market, its weightage in the fund increases and if the opposite happens, the weightage of the fund will automatically go down.'

Courts must remain vigilant against weaponisation of criminal laws: Karnataka High Court
Courts must remain vigilant against the weaponisation of criminal law for settling civil disputes as the law, when misused, ceases to be a shield and becomes a sword, said the High Court of Karnataka while quashing a criminal case registered against a man by his business partner by invoking provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, to settle a financial dispute. 'The complainant to take revenge or arm twist the petitioner for financial dispute, has made use of the criminal justice system. The subject complaint is a blade of vengeance, cloaked in the garb of law,' the court observed. Justice M. Nagaprasanna made these observations while quashing the criminal proceedings against Vilas Bhormalji Oswal on a complaint lodged by his estranged business partner Somashekara of Bengaluru. Case background Mr. Oswal and Mr. Somashekara were partners in Green Land Infra, a real estate development firm established in 2011, with the former being authorised signatory of the firm and the latter being the managing director. However, certain differences cropped up between them leading to closure of the business in 2016 resulting in unresolved disputes. Meanwhile, Mr. Somashekara, who is a Scheduled Caste (SC), lodged a complaint with the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE) in April 2021 alleging that Mr. Oswal had made a casteist remark against him in December 2020. However, the DCRE had not acted on the complaint for nearly three years. Interestingly, the DCRE in February, 2024, recorded the statement of Mr. Somashekara and in March 2024 recorded the statements of two witnesses, known to Mr. Somashekara, who stated that they were present when Mr. Oswal allegedly abused the complainant. After recording the statements, the DCRE forwarded the complaint to the Jayanagar police in April 2024 for registering the criminal case. The police, after investigation, filed the charge sheet against Mr. Oswal and a trial court took cognisance of offences against him in June, 2024. However, the HC pointed out that the only allegation against Mr. Oswal in the complaint was that he told Mr. Somashekar at the playground, 'do not show your casteist mindset' and there was no allegation that the petitioner abused Mr. Somashekar by taking the name of his caste or that the so-called abuse was made in front of two persons, who were treated as witnesses after four years. Not in complaint 'The so-called eyewitnesses again are to be held to have been procured later, as there is no narration in the complaint that the incident was witnessed by two eyewitnesses nor the eyewitnesses would say that they accompanied the complainant to the ground,' the court observed while stating that if this case is permitted to proceed on these glaring facts, it would amount to an egregious abuse of legal machinery.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services outlines why this judgment could reshape global trade dynamics, and what it could mean for India.'A pullback in U.S. tariff aggression creates space for India to strengthen trade positioning,' said Motilal Oswal. With Trump's 26% reciprocal tariff threat now under legal cloud, India may gain leverage in its ongoing trade negotiations with Washington, especially as it offers deep tariff cuts on non-sensitive Oswal noted that exporters in sectors like pharma and textiles could benefit if the ruling weakens the U.S.'s reliance on China-centric trade strategies. 'Exporters in pharma, textiles, may benefit if global supply chains de-risk from China,' the brokerage said, pointing to India as a natural beneficiary of any diversification decision triggered a positive sentiment wave in equities. 'Markets may not react sharply as the original tariffs' economic impact was limited,' Motilal Oswal said, 'but this sets a big precedent for future administrations.'

Gold fell 0.7% to its lowest in over a week, while the U.S. dollar strengthened.
