Aditya Birla Sun Life MF launches two new index funds: Who should invest?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund has launched two new factor-based index funds - Aditya Birla Sun Life BSE 500 Momentum 50 Index Fund and Aditya Birla Sun Life BSE 500 Quality 50 Index Fund. The New Fund Offer (NFO) for both funds opened for subscription on Monday, July 21, 2025, and will close on Monday, August 4, 2025. The BSE 500 Momentum Index Fund is an open-ended scheme replicating the BSE 500 Momentum 50 Total Return Index (TRI). The scheme will invest in the top 50 stocks from the BSE 500 with the strongest price momentum. On the other hand, the Quality 50 Index Fund will invest in 50 companies from the BSE 500 with stable earnings, high return on equity, and low debt. A Balasubramanian, managing director and chief executive officer at Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, said that these twin fund launches are aimed at enabling investors to diversify their core equity portfolios with factor-based strategies that have proven performance across market cycles. "While the Momentum Index offers exposure to higher-return opportunities in fast-growing segments of the market, the Quality Index focuses on stocks with resilient earnings and a layer of stability against drawdowns. With India poised for sustained economic growth, both strategies offer a timely and complementary approach to long-term investing. Investors may choose either fund or a combination of both funds based on their investment horizon, risk tolerance, and return expectations,' he added. Priya Sridhar will be the designated fund manager for both schemes. According to the scheme information document (SID), the minimum amount required for investment in both the schemes is ₹500 and in multiples of ₹100 thereafter during the NFO period. For monthly and weekly SIP, the minimum amount is ₹500 and in multiples of ₹1 thereafter in both the funds.

However, no exit load shall be charged on or after the 16th day from the date of allotment. Who should invest in these funds? According to the AMC, the BSE 500 Momentum 50 Index Fund is designed for investors with a higher risk appetite looking to maximise upside capture in trending markets. It benefits from exposure to top-performing stocks and sectors, and stocks with a proven return record over a 12-month horizon. On the other hand, the BSE 500 Quality 50 Index Fund is suitable for investors seeking long-term wealth creation through investments in high-quality names with a stable balance sheet and lower volatility in earnings. These stocks tend to perform better during market downturns and provide good upside in recovery phases, the company said. According to the risk-o-meter, the funds invested in both schemes will be at very high risk. As per the SID, investors should consult their financial advisors if in doubt whether the product is suitable for them.

Tips to Invest in Mutual Funds
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 21: Starting small with mutual fund investments may help individuals build financial discipline. It could support long-term planning for future goals. Many Indian investors usually begin with monthly online SIP mutual fund options. These plans allow easy tracking and regular contributions. This article explains a few simple and helpful tips that may help individuals have a seamless mutual fund investment experience. Tips to Know While Investing in Mutual Funds Understanding a few key things may make your mutual fund investments smoother and you may be able to make an informed decision. Start Early in Your Investment Starting early in mutual funds may provide a longer investment horizon. This approach often helps individuals spread the impact of market fluctuations over time. A longer period also usually gives more scope for structured planning. Early investment could make budgeting and tracking easier. It allows the fund to grow steadily through consistent contributions. Know Your Financial Goals Before investing, it may help to define your short-term and long-term goals. A clear goal gives direction to your investment strategy. It often helps choose the appropriate type of mutual fund. For example, someone saving for higher education may pick different schemes than someone planning for retirement. Understanding your purpose could support informed fund selection. Understand Different Types of Mutual Funds There are different types of mutual funds, such as equity, debt, and hybrid. Each serves different investment purposes. Equity funds typically invest in stocks, while debt funds focus on fixed-income assets. Hybrid funds offer a mix of both debt and equity. Learning about these categories may help you choose wisely. Reading product details on trusted platforms, such as official financial institutions, could be useful while planning your investment. Assess Risk Before You Invest Mutual funds come with different risk levels, and understanding your risk tolerance is important. If you prefer stable performance, then you may consider debt funds, as they are usually less volatile than other funds. Equity funds often experience more price fluctuations over time compared to other funds. Evaluating your risk appetite in advance, may help to assess how much change you are comfortable with. This step could support long-term patience and keep you prepared to manage changes during market shifts. Invest Consistently with Online SIP Mutual Funds Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) is to invest fixed amounts regularly. This habit usually supports long-term discipline. Using an online SIP mutual fund may offer flexibility and ease of use. Monthly contributions through SIPs make investing simple and structured. Regular investments often develop a routine and financial discipline into the investor's financial planning. Read the Fund Document Carefully Each mutual fund comes with a document called the Scheme Information Document (SID). It usually explains the fund's objectives, risk factors, and fees. Reading this may help you understand mutual funds and make well-informed decisions. The SID also outlines the portfolio manager's strategy. It may give clarity about where the fund typically invests. Evaluate Fund Performance While past performance may not ensure future outcomes, reviewing it may give an idea of how the fund typically performs. It usually provides insights into how the fund reacted to previous market conditions. However, this information should not be the only factor in decision-making. Evaluating fund performance usually becomes more helpful when the fund is compared with other similar types of mutual funds. Be Patient and Think Long-Term Mutual fund investments may show changes in value over short periods. These movements are often temporary. Being patient and having a long-term approach usually allows the fund to deliver the intended performance. Immediate reactions often create uncertainty, while patience generally increases the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes. Many individuals prefer SIPs because they promote regular and long-term contributions. Being patient and having a long-term approach may also help build steady financial habits. Keep Track of Your Investments Tracking your investments regularly may help you understand how your funds are performing. Reviewing your portfolio often shows whether it aligns with your goals. It also keeps you informed about any major changes in the scheme. Several platforms offer digital statements and updates, making it easier. Using these features could support more informed and timely planning for any adjustments. Diversify Your Mutual Fund Portfolio Diversification means spreading your investment across different types of funds. It usually helps in balancing the overall risk. For example, combining equity and debt funds may reduce the effect of market fluctuations. A well-diversified mutual fund portfolio may offer a more stable experience. Conclusion Getting started with mutual funds is usually simple when done with a thoughtful and systematic approach. With support from regulated platforms, investors can begin with clear information and well-organised services. Starting early, staying consistent, and keeping track of investments may support individuals in planning effectively for future. Beginners who explore online SIP mutual fund options often find it manageable and flexible. Always ensure your financial plans are in line with your needs and goals.
