The document discusses investing in the DSP Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index Fund compared to actively managed large cap funds. It notes that most active large cap funds have underperformed their benchmarks like the Nifty 50 index in recent periods. The DSP Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index Fund tracks the Nifty 50 Equal Weight index, which equally weights all 50 stocks in the Nifty 50 index instead of weighting them by market cap like the regular Nifty 50 index. This results in greater diversification and reduces concentration risk from the top holdings. The fund has outperformed both the Nifty 50 index and active large cap fund category averages over 1, 2, and 3 year periods for both lump sum and SIP returns as of April 2023
