What is a Nifty 50 Equal Weight TR Index?

Index investing seeks to mimic the performance of an index. Its passive investing strategy provides for automatic stock selection reducing risk of ‘active’ stock selection while keeping costs low. One of the options in passive investing is Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index.

Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index comprises of the same top 50 large cap companies that constitute the popular Nifty 50 Index, but weighted equally, as against market cap based weightage. In other words, it follows an alternative weighting strategy - all 50 companies are weighted equally i.e., ~2% allocation to each company.

The index’s portfolio is rebalanced quarterly i.e., allocation to all 50 stocks is balanced back to ~2% every quarter. This results in a periodic automatic profit booking since overweight stocks are sold, and underweight stocks are bought.

As the economy moves into a phase of broad-based economic growth, such a strategy which provides equal opportunity to all portfolio stocks to shine as against one which relies on the performance of a few ‘top stars’ can be considered.
