Every index fund investor eventually faces the same question: “Which broad-market index should be my core holding?” The usual suspects are the Nifty 50 TRI, the Nifty LargeMidcap 250 TRI (NLM 250), and the Nifty 500 TRI. Each has a distinct pitch — Nifty 50 for simplicity, NLM 250 for higher returns, and Nifty 500 for true market breadth. Let us analyse the data based on last 21 years history.

#Roshi Jain is no longer available for the Retail investors. At least till her next move is known. We also don't know who is going to manage the funds she was managing. Not sure when to redeem and where to invest

Why Nifty 500 Index fund, instead of mix of sliced and diced, Nifty 50, Next 50, Mid Cap 150, Small Cap 250, etc.?
Market: The Ultimate AI Machine
The stock market, like the NSE or BSE, can be seen as the oldest AI model.
It processes vast amounts of data—news, reports, investor behavior—and continuously adapts to new information, much like how AI learns and evolves.
In this ecosystem, indices like Nifty 500 / BSE 1000 are the oldest form of GPTs
They aggregate and summarize complex data, giving a snapshot of the market’s behavior, much like how GPTs summarize and generate responses based on massive datasets.
At the heart of it all, "Bhav Bhagwan Chhe"—the market itself is divine, constantly adjusting and reflecting the collective wisdom of its participants.
It’s an AI machine that’s been running for centuries, always learning, always evolving.
Good read by @FreeFinCal to choose something, not act like you made the best choice. There is no such thing. It is about which is more suitable to you (assuming you can turn off the noise around and listen to what you need) freefincal.com/active-vs-pas…

I would like to rely on the luck of all market participants which is reflected in the broad market index - Nifty 500 / BSE 500.
Average luck of all market participants hardly go wrong.
My book on investing, what works, will have following concepts
Be lucky
At extremes, avoid big mistakes
In the middle, stay invested

Yes the AUM of any Gold ETF in India is backed by Physical Gold bars. It is regularly audited. Every bar has a serial number. When there is subscription AMCs buy gold bars and when there is redemption they sell gold bars. Kept and insured in vaults.
That's what they said for Gold SGBs as well. Later turns out those are just Govt securities.
Anyway, let's consider Nippon's Gold ETF is backed by physical gold. Then I just need answers to two questions:
1. Where is that physical gold currently? Why no Gold ETFs mention it in their SID?
2. If there is a "secret bunker" who is auditing that? If Gold Bees has 100Cr fresh net inflow today, is RBI or SEBI auditing that Nippon bought 100Cr of physical gold & put it in the bunker?
What if they have 10Cr worth of physical gold and the ETF AUM is 100Cr? Who is really checking that?
Until 1 and 2 are answered, Gold ETFs for me will remain fake gold. Nothing wrong in owning them, but you should have your expectations of what you're owning to be correct.
