Diversification Offers Potential Fruitful Gains!

The Nifty Next 50 is a basket of diversification with exposure in segments like power, capital goods, consumer services, healthcare, FMCG, realty, and specialty chemicals, many of which are underrepresented in the Nifty 50 index.

In simple words, investing in a diversified portfolio is a survival strategy against uncertain times. Nifty Next 50 has a well-rounded portfolio, where the top three sectors account for ~40% of the total index weight. In Nifty 50 however, the top three sectors account for ~60%. The Nifty Next 50 index covers 19 unique industries among the top 100 stocks.

Over the long term, this strategy has been beneficial for hedging higher returns. For example, as per NSE and ICRA-MFI data, the average 10-year rolling returns of Nifty Next 50 TRI were to the tune of 15.94%, which is higher than Nifty 50 TRI who witnessed 14.09% growth. Also, the Nifty 100 TRI has recorded growth of 13.56% from January 1, 2003 to September 1, 2025.
