Analyst View

CNX Nifty Junior (Junior Nifty) is an index comprised of the next rung of 50 most liquid stocks after S&P CNX Nifty. Infact S&P CNX Nifty and Junior Nifty may be regarded as a basket of 100 most liquid stocks in India and they are filtered out on the basis of their impact cost and market capitalizations. The fund’s portfolio, as its objective clearly states, would mimic the portfolio of Nifty Junior Index with the same stocks in the same proportions. These funds are much beneficial when bought over longer duration say more than 5-7 years when its normal to see active equity funds unable to beat the indices. And with the index tracking next 50 stocks down the line, the inherent volatility would also be higher vis-à-vis Nifty stocks. To put things in perspective, if you consider the returns from Nifty and Nifty Junior Index for last 1 year you will see a deviation of more than 22 percentage points. Thus, we would recommend investing into the fund systematically through the SIP/STP route as this would minimize the volatility in the returns in your portfolio.
