Why There’s No ETF or Mutual Fund Based on BSE Sensex Next 50?

By WealthCare Vest – Caring for your wealth, strengthening your investment

At WealthCare Vest, our goal is to make financial knowledge simple and accessible for everyone. Today, let’s address a question that many investors wonder about:
Why is there no ETF or Mutual Fund based on the BSE Sensex Next 50 Index?

The Simple Answer:

BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) has the Sensex, which includes the top 30 stocks based on market capitalization. However, BSE has not yet launched a “Sensex Next 50” index like NSE (National Stock Exchange) has done with its Nifty Next 50.

This means that BSE doesn’t currently offer an official index that covers the next 50 companies beyond the Sensex 30 – and hence, fund houses and ETF providers don’t have a benchmark to build products on.

But Wait, Isn’t There a Similar Index?

Yes! NSE already provides a well-recognized Nifty Next 50 index, which includes the 50 companies just below the Nifty 50. These companies are often strong performers and potential future large-caps.

Since the constituents of Sensex and Nifty often overlap, and Nifty Next 50 already fills the gap, there hasn’t been much demand or reason to create a similar “Sensex Next 50.”

So, from a fund manager’s or investor’s point of view:
Why create a new product when a similar one already exists and is widely accepted?

How Much of Your Salary Should You Save and Invest?

Image
Recently, someone asked this question in a public forum, and I thought of sharing a simple and practical answer for everyone’s benefit. Refer to this video also  https://youtube.com/shorts/WAp73NKbZIw?si=rpJuWjVYwqsadb-I   One of the most common questions people ask is: "How much percentage of my salary should I save and invest?" The truth is, there’s no fixed percentage for everyone—it completely depends on your monthly expenses and lifestyle . To get a clear picture, I recommend you start by creating a personal cash flow statement . A cash flow statement helps you track: Your monthly income Fixed and variable expenses Actual savings left at the end of the month Once you know your exact monthly savings , it becomes easy to calculate your saving percentage of income. From there, you can decide how much you want to allocate towards investments like mutual funds, SIPs, or insurance plans. If you need a cash flow Excel sheet , I’d be happy to create and share o...
