Mutual Fund Review: HDFC Index Sensex Plus

In terms of size, HDFC Index Sensex Plus may be one of the smallest offerings from the HDFC stable. But that has not dampened its show, which has beaten the Sensex by a mile in overall returns HDFC Index Sensex Plus is a passively managed diversified equity scheme with Sensex as its benchmark index. The fund also invests a small proportion of its equity portfolio in non-Sensex scrips. The scheme cannot boast of an impressive size and is one of the smallest in the HDFC basket with assets under management (AUM) of less than 60 crore. PERFORMANCE: Being passively managed and portfolio aligned to that of the benchmark, the performance of the index fund is expected to follow that of the benchmark and in this respect, it has not disappointed investors. Since its launch in July 2002, the fund has outperformed Sensex in overall returns by good margins. While every 1,000 invested in HDFC Index Sensex Plus in July 2002 is worth 6,130 now, a similar amount invested in Sensex then wo...

With a 7-year return of 25.08%, the fund has outperformed both the category average return (18.04%) and benchmark (13.4%) by a wide margin. Growth of Rs 10,000 vis-a-vis category and benchmark Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip Fund is a mid-cap oriented fund continues its stellar run, clocking another year of outperformance over benchmark and peers—a feat it has achieved every year since inception. The fund manager plies a strictly bottom-up approach to stock selection and keeps risk contained by focusing on larger mid-caps. A year ago, it had stopped accepting lump sum investments and now the fund has also put restrictions on SIP investments—only allowing SIP on the tenth of every month with an upper limit of Rs 25,000. It has done so to preserve its return profile in the face of mounting inflows and stretched valuations in the mid-cap space. This step should hel...
