About the Nifty 500 Momentum 50 Index
The Nifty 500 Momentum 50 Index selects 50 stocks from the Nifty 500 based on their momentum score. This score is calculated using 6-month and 12-month price returns, adjusted for volatility.
The index is rebalanced semi-annually to reflect changing market conditions and capture stocks with the strongest price momentum.
Momentum investing follows the principle of buying stocks that are already showing an upward trend and selling them before the trend reverses.
This strategy relies on price movement rather than company fundamentals, aiming to capitalise on continued stock gains.
