Identify the FALSE statement(s) with respect to benchmarks for mutual fund schemes. (1) A Multi-Cap fund can have the Nifty 500 index as its benchmark.

Practice question from NISM Series V A - Mock Test 2 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    Only 1 is false

  2. Only 2 is false

    Correct answer

  3. C

    Both 1 and 2 are false

  4. D

    None of the above

Why this is the answer

A Multi-Cap fund invests across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, which makes the Nifty 500 index a suitable benchmark since it represents 500 stocks across all these categories. However, the BSE Sensex consists of only 30 large-cap stocks, so it is more suitable for large-cap funds and not for a multi-cap fund.
