SUD Life Insurance has announced the launch of the SUD Life NIFTY Alpha 50 Index Fund, a new fund offering that tracks the NIFTY Alpha 50 Index, a smart beta benchmark designed to identify India’s most consistent outperforming stocks. The New Fund Offer (NFO) is open from October 6 to October 24, 2025.

The index comprises the top 50 stocks from India’s largest and most liquid companies, selected based on their alpha, which measures each stock’s ability to outperform the broader market after adjusting for risk. Each stock’s weight in the index is determined by its alpha score, creating a performance-oriented portfolio rooted in quantitative analysis.

Commenting on the launch, Prashant Sharma, Chief Investment Officer at SUD Life, said - “This fund is about giving investors access to a more thoughtful way of investing in equities. Instead of simply tracking market size, it focuses on the performance of the companies that have shown an ability to deliver better returns over time. The idea is simple, to stay systematic, to stay invested, and to let data drive decisions. With the added benefit of 0% GST on ULIP charges, policyholders can now enjoy both efficiency and potential upside”

The index is rebalanced quarterly, ensuring agility in response to evolving market dynamics.The fund targets consistent Alpha with a sector agnostic approach helping balance risk and capture opportunities across the economic spectrum.

With its mid-cap bias and focus on high-alpha constituents, the fund is suited for policyholders seeking to participate in India’s growth story through a smarter, data-led approach to equity investing.

The fund will be available with SUD Life’s unit-linked insurance products like SUD Life Wealth Builder Plan, SUD Life e-Wealth Royale, and SUD Life Star TULIP Plan.
