He posted on social media platform X: “Since I always talk about dal-chawal funds, if you want to pick just one index fund in my opinion – Large and Midcap 250 index covers the broad Indian economy with a reasonable allocation to large and mid-cap companies.”
Since I am always talking about dal-chawal funds, if you want to pick a single index fund in my opinion:
Large and Midcap 250 Index
It covers the broader Indian economy with a reasonable allocation to large and mid-cap companies. https://t.co/1wj2rrWElv

This came in response to Mahesh, an AMFI-registered mutual fund distributor (MFD), posting on social media platform X: “Index funds were supposed to be simple investments. In this case, investors are confused about what to choose.”
“Here investors are confused: to choose between the regular N50 or N500 OR equal weightage variants of the same funds OR created out of them OR the various factor-based variants OR other thematic and sectoral index funds based on market cap,” Mahesh added.

Several social media users praised Gupta’s recommendations, while one user also recommended that there should be a Nifty 500 index fund that better reflects the market and gives exposure to small-cap companies. The user wrote, “There should be a NIFTY 500 index fund, which better reflects the market and gives exposure to small-cap companies.” Gupta in his earlier posts mentioned dal-chawal funds where he compared balanced edge and aggressive hybrids. mutual funds Dal-Chawal also advised investors not to invest in narrow thematic funds that work in one cycle and not the next. He also explained what Dal-Chawal funds are: “Broad-based funds that are all-weather and span a variety of sectors; balanced advantages and aggressive hybrid types; flexible, multi, large and mid-cap, broad-based 250-500 index types; forever funds; active or passive does not matter – the point is not a narrow thematic fund that works in one cycle and not the next.”
