Chandigarh: Tata Asset Management has unveiled a groundbreaking product for passive investors: the Tata BSE Multicap Consumption 50:30:20 Index Fund. This open-ended scheme is touted as India’s first multi-cap consumption index fund, offering a structured and diversified approach to participate in the nation’s long-term consumption growth story.
The fund aims to precisely replicate the performance of the BSE Multicap Consumption 50:30:20 Index (Total Return Index – TRI). The New Fund Offer (NFO) is now open for subscription and will close on December 23.
The Unique 50:30:20 Allocation
The core innovation of the index lies in its rigid, rule-based asset allocation, which is designed to capture both the stability of market leaders and the high-growth potential of smaller players:
| Market Capitalisation | Allocation Weight | Rationale |
| Large-Cap | 50% | Provides stability and exposure to established market leaders and major brands. |
| Mid-Cap | 30% | Captures emerging consumption trends and companies in high-growth phases. |
| Small-Cap | 20% | Offers exposure to niche, high-potential themes like quick commerce and digital entertainment. |
The underlying index selects the top 100 companies from the BSE 500 universe that fall within the Consumer Discretionary and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors, based on a six-month average market capitalisation. This multi-cap strategy effectively addresses the concentration risk often inherent in traditional, large-cap-skewed consumption indices.
Tapping into India’s Evolving Consumer Story
Consumption is universally recognized as a major structural driver of the Indian economy, contributing over 60% to the country’s GDP. According to Anand Vardarajan, Chief Business Officer at Tata Asset Management, the nature of this consumption is shifting.
“Consumption is a long-term structural theme for India. While large caps offer stability, mid- and small-caps capture emerging consumption trends in areas such as quick commerce, travel, and digital entertainment. The 50:30:20 structure offers a transparent way for investors to participate in the broader consumption ecosystem,” Vardarajan stated.
The fund’s sectoral exposure extends beyond conventional FMCG and auto stocks to capture sectors reflecting modern, aspirational, and discretionary spending, such as auto ancillaries, digital entertainment, tour and travel services, and internet retail. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually in June and December to maintain its targeted capitalisation structure.
