Chandigarh: Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund has launched the Motilal Oswal BSE 1000 Index Fund, India’s first index fund tracking the BSE 1000 Total Return Index. The new fund offer (NFO) will open on June 5 and close on June 19, 2025.

The fund is an open-ended scheme designed to replicate the performance of the BSE 1000 Total Return Index, which includes the top 1,000 listed companies across large, mid, small, and micro-cap segments, representing around 94% of India’s listed market capitalisation.

The fund aims to offer broad diversification across 22 sectors, with the top 10 stocks capped at roughly 33% weight to reduce concentration risk. It also includes exposure to growing micro-cap companies.

The fund will be jointly managed by Swapnil Mayekar (Equity component), Dishant Mehta (Associate – Equity), Rakesh Shetty (Debt component).

The BSE 1000 Total Return Index offers a free-float weighted, semi-annually rebalanced exposure to India’s broad equity market. According to Motilal Oswal AMC, India’s economic growth, as projected by the IMF (6.2% in 2025 and 6.3% in 2026), supports the case for a diversified equity investment strategy.

Asia Index, which developed the BSE 1000 Index, highlighted that the index reflects the deepening of India’s capital markets and provides a mix of both established and emerging companies.

This product is intended for investors seeking long-term capital growth via a passive investment strategy tied to India’s overall market performance.
