- Nifty Total Market Index tracks 750 stocks spanning the Nifty 500 and Nifty Microcap 250, giving investors single-fund exposure across large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap segments of the Indian equity market.
- Nifty Total Market TRI fell 3.14% over the 1-year period ending 1 October 2026, compared with an 8.74% decline for the Nifty 50 TRI.
- Over 3 years, the index returned 9.49% versus 5.75% for the Nifty 50; 5-year returns stand at 9.28% vs 6.29%, and 10-year returns at 12.87% vs 11.38%.
- Nifty Total Market Index also outpaced the Nifty 500 TRI, the benchmark used for flexi-cap funds that invest across market-cap segments.
- Index-level returns shown are Total Return Index (TRI) figures that include capital gains and dividends, and the article notes actual scheme returns may differ because of expenses and tracking error.
- Existing funds' one-year returns are tightly clustered: Mirae Asset at -3.44%, Groww at -3.66%, Bandhan at -3.71%, and Angel One at -3.41%.
- Because the fund category is new, a meaningful long-term fund-level performance comparison is not yet available.
Why it matters: With the Nifty Total Market TRI beating the Nifty 50 by 3.74 to 5.6 percentage points across 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year horizons, investors gain one-fund diversification — but since long-term fund-level track records don't yet exist, expense ratios and tracking error will be the real differentiators among Mirae Asset, Groww, Bandhan, and Angel One.
