Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund (MOMF) has introduced a new fund offer (NFO) called the Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund.
This is an open-ended fund that follows the BSE 1000 Total Return Index, making it India’s first index fund based on this index.
The BSE 1000 Index includes the top 1000 listed companies in India, giving investors broad exposure to the Indian stock market.
Key Features and Investment Details
The BSE 1000 Index covers companies of all sizes — large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and micro-cap — representing about 94% of India’s total market value.
It includes 22 different sectors, ranging from traditional industries to modern technology companies.
The top 10 companies make up only 33% of the index, which helps reduce risk by spreading investments widely.
Investment Information
NFO Period: June 5, 2025, to June 19, 2025
Goal: To match the returns of the BSE 1000 Total Return Index (though returns are not guaranteed)
Minimum Investment: ₹500 (both during and after NFO), then ₹1 for additional investments
Exit Load: 1% if withdrawn within 15 days, no charges afterward
SIP: Separate terms will apply
