A Nifty-50 Optimised Portfolio refers to optimizing a portfolio that contains only Nifty-50 index constituents. Portfolio optimization is a process that aims to find the best allocation to assets based on various factors and constraints, such as risk tolerance and investment goals.
NIFTY-50 index represents the 50 largest companies by market capitalization, listed on the National Stock Exchange. This is commonly considered as a list of companies with high credit worthiness and therefore safe to invest in.
The following screenshot shows the result of a NIFTY-50 optimised portfolio, where the grey line represents NIFTY-50, which is constantly rebalanced from time to time. The green line represents performance if funds were equally invested in each of the 50 constituent stocks. The orange line represents performance if an investor allocated to only 9 of the 50 stocks as per the Portfolio Optimiser’s result.
As you can see from the above chart, Portfolio Optimisation improves returns while reducing volatility. It does so by not allocating to stocks that are underperforming and by allocating to a basket of stocks with adequate diversification.
