Understanding the Basics

  • What is the objective of the Top 500 Multifactor 50 Fund?

(SFIN: ULIF08219/09/25TopMF500Fd101)

The Fund aims to generate long-term capital appreciation from a portfolio that is aligned to the constituents of index which consists of 50 stocks selected from top 500 based on the combination of momentum, quality, value and low volatility factors.

  • What will be the benchmark? What does the benchmark signify?

The Nifty 500 Multifactor MQVLv 50 Index aims to track the performance of a 50-stock portfolio selected based on a combination of momentum, quality, value and low volatility factors from the Nifty 500. The momentum score for each company is determined based on its 6-month and 12-month price return, adjusted for volatility. Stock weights are based on composite factor score of that stock.

On the other hand, companies in the Nifty 500 index are purely based on free float market capitalization.

  • What is the investment philosophy behind launching this fund?

The Fund looks to invest in four proven equity factors such as Momentum, Quality, Low Volatility, and Value to construct a portfolio aimed at delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. Stock selection is rules-based passively managed thereby reducing personal biases and enhancing transparency. The multifactor model dynamically adjusts to changing market conditions, allowing the fund to capture emerging opportunities while maintaining discipline.

Investment Strategy: One of the key strengths of the Nifty 500 Multifactor MQVL 50 is its investment strategy. The fund largely follows a Multifactor approach of investing and invests across market capitalizations. While single-factor strategies may thrive under certain market conditions, multifactor investing provides a more diversified and resilient approach. Multifactor investing combines multiple factors, such as value, momentum, quality, size, and low volatility, to build a portfolio with diversified risk exposures and the potential for enhanced returns. This approach reduces the reliance on any single factor, mitigating the impact of periods when certain factors underperform. By balancing riskier factors with more stable ones, multifactor strategies aim to smooth out performance fluctuations and improve consistency over time, offering a disciplined way to enhance portfolio performance and manage risk

Diversification: Diversification means spreading your capital among various sectors and stocks. Since the fund invest in portfolio of stocks into various sectors and stocks, it reduces the risk of concentration into single stock or sector. All the sectors do not outperform / underperform at the same time. Every sector has its own market dynamics and sector tailwinds / headwinds do not always coincide with market upcycle / downcycle. In addition, diversification in this fund will be across multiple factors, not just restricted to stocks or sectors.
