IDFC Mutual Fund:

IDFC Asset Management Company ranks #10 in terms of Asset under Management (AUM) in India.

The fund house has more than 60 schemes across mutual funds, AIF, PMS, etc., and manages over Rs. 1. 26 Lakh Crores of assets.

Configuration of IDFC Nifty 100 Fund:

Investment Objective of IDFC Nifty 100 Fund:

  The primary objectives of this Index fund are:

  • Create wealth over the long term.
  • Investment in equity and equity-related instruments belonging to the Nifty 100 Index.

Investment Strategy of IDFC Nifty 100 Fund:

  • The scheme will invest in Nifty 100 securities with the same proportion.
  • It aims to provide returns before expenses that closely correspond to the total return of the Nifty 100 Index, subject to tracking errors.

What should you know before investing in Index funds?

Index funds are less volatile than other actively managed equity funds. While investing in index funds, choosing a fund with low tracking error is the key. 

Since the index funds are passive, their expense ratio tends to be lower than active mutual funds.

Even though these funds fluctuate in the short term, it averages over the long term period. Long-term investments in index funds can earn better inflation-beating returns.

Index funds don’t assess the underlying securities in the index. Instead, they invest in the entire index without considering the financial status of the underlying companies.

Key Facts to know: IDFC Nifty 100 Index Fund:

  • It is a well-diversified index across key sectors like oil & gas, Information technology, financial services, and consumer goods.
  • Nifty 100 index consists of 100 largest companies based on market cap.
  • This index has a long track record of market trends over the past 16 years.

Nifty 100 VsNifty 50:

Nifty100 consists of India’s large-cap companies in terms of total market cap. Even though this index has companies across 17 sectors, it has a heavy inclination towards IT, oil and gas, consumer goods, and financial services. 

So there is an imbalance in holding weightage among the sectors. Over the long term, the Nifty 100 index has given outstanding returns. For the past 15 years, the average annual return of the index was around 12.3%.

The Nifty50 index consists of India’s large-cap companies based on the free-float market cap. The Nifty50 index is diversified across 13 sectors. But it has a heavy tilt towards a few sectors like financial services and IT.

Since this is based on a free-float market cap, the index doesn’t hold equal weightage to all the companies. Over a long time, the index has beaten inflation with a considerable margin. For the past 15 years, the average annual return of the index was around 12%.

Pros of Investing in IDFC Nifty 100 Index Fund:

  • IDFC Nifty 100 Index fund is free from fund manager bias.
  • This fund provides diversification across various sectors.
  • Nifty 100 returns are relatively stable with less volatility.
  • Long-term investments in this Index fund can yield better returns.
  • Investing through SIP can generate long-term capital appreciation.
  • This fund may have a low expense ratio.

Cons of Investing in IDFC Nifty 100 Index Fund:

  • As an index fund, this may underperform its index due to certain factors like fees and expenses, trading costs, etc.
  • The major risk of index fund investment is tracking error,since it may not perfectly track its index.
  • As an Index fund, it isnot flexible when compared to active funds. This fund will not be able to take any course corrective measure during the correction or market crash.
  • This fund will not be able to deliver market-beating returns.
  • This fund will blindly buy the entire index without doing any analysis on the underlying stocks. In the active large-cap funds, the fund managers will analyse all the large-cap stocks and pick and choose the best stocks based on their research and analysis. This way active funds can take calculated risk compared to this fund.

The Final Takeaways of IDFC Nifty 100 Index Fund Review:

If you are an ultra-conservative investor who is not willing to invest in actively managed funds, this fund may be suitable for you.

If you are an investor looking for midcap or small-cap exposure as well, this fund will not be suitable for you.

The ability of this fund to maintain low tracking error and low expense ratio is untested as of now. It’s better to wait till they create a track record.

Investors expecting dynamic fund management and looking for investments that can beat the market should avoid this fund.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
