Introduction to Passive Investing

Passive investing or index investing as it is commonly understood, is a long-term investment strategy that tracks / replicates a specified underlying market index. The index for tracking can range from a broad market index like Nifty 50 Index to a sector specific index like Nifty Bank Index.

Passive investing has seen increasing investor interest / AUM growth in India in the last few years, especially post the pandemic.
