What are Large-cap ETFs?

A Large-cap ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) invests in a basket of large, established companies and typically tracks an index such as the Nifty 50.
Instead of buying individual stocks, you can invest in one ETF and get exposure to multiple companies that form the underlying index. As a passive investment, the ETF aims to track the performance of its underlying index, before expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
5
How is a Large-cap ETF different from a Large-cap Mutual Fund?
A Large-cap ETF is traded on the stock exchange during market hours at market prices and requires a Demat account. A Large-cap Mutual Fund is bought and redeemed at the applicable Net Asset Value (NAV) and does not require a demat account. ETFs generally follow a passive investment approach, while Large-cap Mutual Funds may be actively managed and generally have higher expense ratios.
What is the minimum investment required in a Large-cap ETF?
You can start investing in a Large-cap ETF with the price of one unit, subject to the applicable market price and brokerage or other charges. The price of one ETF unit is generally a fraction of the value of the underlying index, making ETFs accessible to investors with different investment amounts.
Does investing in a Large-cap ETF guarantee returns?
No. A Large-cap ETF does not guarantee returns. It aims to track the performance of its underlying index, subject to expenses and tracking error. The value of your investment can rise or fall depending on the performance of the underlying securities and is subject to market risks.
How often is the Nifty 50 Index reconstituted?
The Nifty 50 Index is reviewed and rebalanced semi-annually by NSE Indices. The index review uses January 31 and July 31 as the semi-annual cut-off dates, with changes determined based on the index methodology, including criteria related to market capitalisation, liquidity and other eligibility requirements.
What is tracking error in a Large-cap ETF?
Tracking error measures the difference between the returns of an ETF and the returns of its underlying index over a given period. A lower tracking error generally indicates that the ETF has followed its underlying index more closely
