The Indian stock market has recently seen a correction due to weak earnings and foreign investor sell-offs, with broader stocks down 20-30%. Long-term investors can either focus on undervalued stocks (value approach) or high-quality companies that have become cheaper (quality approach), with the latter underperforming recently but offering strong long-term potential. For those preferring the quality style, passive funds based on indices like Nifty200 Quality30, Nifty100 Quality30, or NiftyMidcap150 Quality50 offer diversified, fundamentally strong stocks with lower volatility in downturns.

Good Time To Buy Quality Index Funds

​The Indian market has several equity-oriented index funds. Some popular index funds are based on broad indices — Nifty 50, S&P BSE Sensex, Nifty 100, Nifty Midcap 150, Nifty Smallcap 250, Nifty 500 and the Nifty Total Market Index; and thematic indices based on IT, pharma, consumption, manufacturing, defence, among others.

What are the equity index funds in India?

On valuations, the P/E ratio of the small-cap index (Nifty Small Cap 250) is similar to that of the large-cap (Nifty 100) index, at around 19-20x on two-year forward earnings (excluded loss-making companies in the aggregates). However, the projected earnings growth for small-caps is higher, at 18% for the next couple of years versus 8-10% for large-caps. So, growth-adjusted valuations are not that expensive for small-caps.
