Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund introduced four new Index Funds
- All four NFO opened 29th October and closes on 6th November, 2024
- High-growth funds designed for investors with a very high-risk appetite


Mumbai, 31st October 2024: Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund (MOMF) has announced launch of four index funds ‘Motilal Oswal Nifty MidSmall Healthcare Index Fund’, ‘Motilal Oswal Nifty MidSmall IT and Telecom Index Fund’, Motilal Oswal Nifty MidSmall India Consumption Index Fund’, and ‘Motilal Oswal Nifty MidSmall Financial Services Index Fund’. The four NFOs by Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund opens for subscription on 29th October and closes on 6th November.

According to a research by MOAMC, in the last 5 years, Midcap and Smallcap have grown at a faster rate as compared to Largecap. The profitability of Mid and Small cap companies has grown by 25.2% and 35.4% respectively compared to the Large-cap companies which has grown by 22.1%. During the same period market cap of Mid and Small cap companies has grown by 25.7% and 28.0% while large-cap companies have grown by 19.1%. These index funds cater to risk-taking investors aiming for higher returns by tapping into the growth potential of mid and small-cap sectors. Though more volatile than large-caps, they offer substantial upside for those prepared to handle market fluctuations.

Prateek Agrawal, MD & CEO, Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Ltd said, “The AUM of the Indian MF Industry has grown from Rs. 9.16 trillion (US$ 110.63 billion) in 2014, to Rs. 64.97 trillion (US$ 780.70 billion) in July 2024, growing ~6x in a span of 10 years, showcasing potential of the industry. We believe Mid and Small cap stocks have potential to perform well in long term considering that the market cap of Mid-Small companies has grown at a faster rate as compared to large cap companies”.


Pratik Oswal, Chief of Business Passive Funds, Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Ltd said, “India benefits from a large cross-utilization of channels to expand the reach of financial services. With 2,100 fintechs currently operating, India is positioned to become one of the largest digital markets, driven by rapid mobile and internet expansion. As the economy grows, so does consumer spending, particularly in discretionary sectors, with the healthcare market expected to reach $638 billion and IT and telecom, consumption, and financial services sectors each set for significant growth by 2025. While these sectors offer high growth potential, mid and small-cap investments in these areas come with heightened volatility, making them ideal for risk-tolerant investors prepared for market fluctuations.”
