Frequently asked questions
Which has a higher 3-year return, SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund or UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund?
SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 6.5% is higher than UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund's 26.4%. SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund sits in the 3rd percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 98th percentile for UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund - though note both funds may belong to different categories with different medians, so a raw CAGR comparison doesn't account for how each fund performed relative to its own peers. A higher historical return also doesn't necessarily mean lower risk; check the risk metrics below before concluding either fund is the "better" choice.
Which has a lower expense ratio, SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund or UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund?
SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.51 percentage points lower than UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund's. Over long holding periods, a persistent expense-ratio gap compounds into a materially different final corpus even if the two funds' gross returns are similar - it's one of the few fund attributes you can compare with total certainty upfront, unlike future returns, since the fee is contractually fixed rather than a historical estimate.
Why don't SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund and UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund show risk metrics like Sharpe ratio or alpha?
This fund tracks an index, so measuring alpha against that same index would only report its tracking error. This is a deliberate methodology choice, not missing data - risk metrics like alpha and Sharpe ratio are most meaningful for actively-managed funds where a manager makes decisions that can add or subtract value versus a benchmark. For a fund that mechanically tracks an index, the equivalent useful metric is tracking error (how closely it follows its index), not alpha.
Which has higher AUM, SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund or UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund?
UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund has ₹828 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹294 Cr for SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund. A larger AUM generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but an AUM that's very large relative to a fund's category and strategy (especially in small/mid cap categories, where the investable universe is smaller) can also make it harder for a manager to enter and exit positions without moving the price - bigger isn't automatically better, especially for less liquid categories.
Which fund has a longer track record, SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund or UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund?
UTI Nifty 500 Value 50 Index Fund launched on 2023-04-26, making it older than SBI BSE Sensex Index Fund (launched 2023-05-18). A longer track record means more real market cycles (bull runs, corrections, rate cycles) the fund has actually navigated, which is useful context for judging consistency - but it isn't a guarantee of future performance, and a newer fund isn't automatically worse, especially if it's run by an experienced manager or team with a track record at a prior fund.
