WHAT AREIndex Funds?

Index funds are passively managed mutual funds that track a market index. They invest in the same companies, in the same proportion, as the index they follow.

Because there is no active stock picking, these funds move broadly in line with the market.

For NRIs, index mutual funds in India offer an easy way to invest without managing individual stocks.

Passive structure The fund follows a fixed index, with minimal intervention.
Built-in diversification Money is spread across many companies, reducing concentration risk.
Market-linked movement Returns reflect overall market performance, making outcomes easier to understand.

ADVANTAGES OFInvesting in Index Funds

Index funds are valued for their structure rather than short-term performance.

This makes Indian index funds a natural fit for long-term, goal-based investing for investors in NZ. Investors looking for low index funds usually appreciate their consistency over time.
