Mumbai: Angel One Asset Management Company (AMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Angel One Ltd., has announced the launch of India’s first Smart Beta funds based on the Nifty Total Market Index, marking a major milestone in the evolution of the country’s passive investment landscape.
The two new offerings — Angel One Nifty Total Market Momentum Quality 50 ETF and Angel One Nifty Total Market Momentum Quality 50 Index Fund — bring investors a transparent, rules-based opportunity to participate in a diversified market portfolio that spans the full spectrum of Indian equities.
The New Fund Offers (NFOs) opened for subscription on November 3 and will remain open until November 17, 2025. Both funds aim to track the performance of the Nifty Total Market Momentum Quality 50 Index, which selects 50 companies from a broad universe of 750 listed firms, covering large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and even micro-cap stocks.
India’s First Smart Beta Approach on Total Market Index
This is the first time that Smart Beta funds — which blend the benefits of active and passive investing — have been introduced based on the Nifty Total Market Index. The unique index follows a multi-factor strategy, where stock selection is determined by two key metrics:
-
Momentum, which measures the strength of a stock’s recent price performance, and
-
Quality, which evaluates a company’s financial fundamentals and stability.
This dual-factor approach aims to identify companies that exhibit consistent performance and strong business fundamentals while avoiding excessive concentration in any single market segment.
According to Angel One AMC, the funds will be rebalanced semi-annually to maintain alignment with the index composition, and no exit load will be charged to investors.
Broadening Access to Passive Investing
Speaking about the launch, Hemen Bhatia, Executive Director and CEO of Angel One AMC, said:
“With these new Smart Beta funds, we continue our commitment to offering investors transparent, cost-effective, and rule-based strategies for long-term capital growth. Our goal is to make passive investing smarter and more inclusive for every Indian investor.”
Angel One AMC, launched earlier this year, focuses exclusively on passive investment solutions such as index funds and ETFs. The firm’s strategy revolves around democratizing access to professional-grade, data-driven investing tools for retail investors nationwide.
Easy Investment Options for Every Investor
During the NFO period, the minimum investment for the ETF is ₹1,000, making it accessible for retail investors. The Index Fund, meanwhile, supports flexible Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) — starting as low as:
-
₹250 per day
-
₹500 weekly or fortnightly
-
₹1,000 monthly
-
₹3,000 quarterly
By combining accessibility with innovation, Angel One AMC aims to capture India’s growing appetite for low-cost, disciplined investing options that reduce dependence on fund managers’ discretion.
Looking Ahead
As passive investing gains momentum in India, Angel One AMC’s Smart Beta funds represent a major step forward in bridging the gap between traditional index-based investing and sophisticated factor-based strategies.
For investors seeking a balanced exposure to India’s total market — from established blue chips to emerging small caps — the new Momentum Quality 50 series could become a compelling addition to their portfolios.
