The Nifty500 Quality 50 Index selects 50 companies from the Nifty 500 based on three critical parameters:

  1. High Return on Equity (ROE)

  2. Low Financial Leverage (Debt/Equity)

  3. Stable Earnings Growth (EPS)

This rules-based methodology removes human bias and ensures a disciplined stock selection process.

Historically, the index has delivered stronger long-term returns with lower volatility.

  • Resilience: Lower drawdowns during the Global Financial Crisis (2008) and COVID-19 crash (2020)
