Please a video on regular plan small, mid & large/Midcap funds which have given more than 18% returns in past 15-20 years. It will be very welcome. Or a detailed compare of various regular PLAN ELSS funds which have given more than 15 percent returns in past 12 to 15 years. Thanks again!

hi shankar, which mutual fund or ETF do u invest in for multi cap 50:25:25 ? I couldnot find any index fund for this index

[@shankarnath]

I use a mix of actively managed and passive schemes. The combination of all comes to 50-25-25. I've explained that in an earlier video; link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH-YgpeujpiFjNU Yes, you are right. There is no 50-25-25 MF or ETF currently but there is an index (Nifty 500 Multicap 50:25:25 Index) so hopefully some fund house will come up something. For now, one has to design his or her portfolio accordingly

Do the mutual fund AMCs of India offer all those index funds for the retail investors to invest ?

[@balajivenu8598]

Hi Shankar, have been following your videos for many years now, good stuff, keep it going. Question: Does it matter if I choose a ICICI nifty 50 etf v/s Axis nitfy 50 etf. Are these active managed or passive managed? I am looking for a passive managed index funds to keep my expense ratio. Is there a place where all this is documented. On a lighter note, in namma bengalore, I hope someday you will here the other person at the stall say "Guru, ondhu dose kodappa" :) :).

[@shankarnath]

Thank you very much for your continued patronage and appreciation: 1. It doesn't matter to me as long as there is atleast 100 crores of AUM within the ETF. I prefer that cut-off as it improves the probability of someone dedictated looking at the management of that scheme 2. Please check the AMC website to know if any scheme is active or passive. Likewise, you can also check on valueresearchonline.com or similar platforms

[@jaypatel6690]

10:03 - Hi Shankar, thanks a lot for this! I have been following one of the factor based index - Nifty 50 Value 20 and that has really caught my eye. In the last 14 years the index has outperformed almost all actively managed funds by offering 19% CAGR to the investors. I’d like to know more about this index. I have been trying to research about the historical constituents of this index of this index over the last 14 years but have not found anything of much use. We’d really appreciate if you and the community here can share any valuable resources on this index. Thanks!

[@shankarnath]

Hello. I haven't analysed specific factors for sometime now. I'll come up with a broader video on factor investing soon .. it is already in my content queue. One suggestion - please map the N50V20 on an year on year basis and see how it has performed as compared to other factors like momentum, alpha, low vol, Nifty 50 etc. That'll help you assess if there are any entry points for a factor like this

[@9092295555]

Hi Jay Patel, I beg to differ here . If you closely watch value 20 index . The base year for this index is 2009, which is right after the crash of 2008 .that's the main reason for the significant higher returns

[@jaypatel6690]

@@9092295555 I do agree with your point that the base of this index is a time when the markets were at their lowest but there are two things that we need to look at here. 1) Nifty was also at it’s lowest in 08-09 and since then, Nifty 50 has given 12-13% return till date. So Nifty 50 also got an equal opportunity as NV20 to shine. 2) If you take any 5 year period return (Rolling 5Y CAGR) of Nifty 50 and NV20 since 2009 and compare them then you’ll observe that the median of Nifty 50 is close to 12% and NV20 median is close to 17%. There’s definitely an alpha of 4-5% with lower beta!

This include large caps, mid caps, small caps, ELSS, aggressive hybrid, equity savings, flexi cap, thematics etc. SEBI had done a classification of fund categories a few years back which explains it: www.amfiindia.com/investor-corner/knowledge-center/SEBI-categorization-of-mutual-fund-schemes.html

Hi Shankar, great video as always.. I have a question, do index funds provide down side protection? Like a cash component? If not is there any reading material on how to deal with this?

[@Sandeesh_Srikantam]

Index funds go up/down just the way its corresponding index does.

[@shankarnath]

Hi Nikhil - index funds have a defined methodology and they have to follow it. Unable to follow that precisely is what leads to tracking error. I'm not aware of any index fund that offers down-side protection the way you have defined it i.e. via cash cushion or use of derivatives etc.
