Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund (MOMF) has launched a new fund offer (NFO) called the Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund.
This is an open-ended fund that tracks the BSE 1000 Total Return Index—India’s first index fund based on this index.
The BSE 1000 includes the top 1000 listed companies in the country, offering investors wide exposure across the Indian stock market.
Key Features of the Fund
The BSE 1000 Index covers companies of all sizes—large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and micro-cap—accounting for about 94% of India’s total market capitalization.
It includes 22 sectors, from traditional industries to modern tech companies.
The top 10 companies make up only 33% of the index, helping reduce risk through diversification.
Investment Details
NFO Period: June 5, 2025 to June 19, 2025
Objective: To deliver returns similar to the BSE 1000 Total Return Index, though results are not guaranteed.
Minimum Lumpsum Investment: ₹500 (during and after NFO), then ₹1 for further investments.
Exit Load: 1% if withdrawn within 15 days; no charge after that.
SIP Rules: Will have different terms.
