For investors seeking a structured approach to long-term wealth creation, PNB MetLife has launched the PNB MetLife Multifactor Index Fund at an initial Net Asset Value (NAV) of ₹10 for proposals applied from 15 June to 29 June 2026 and issued on 30th June beyond which prevailing NAV will be applied. The new fund offers structured exposure to a customised index based on the NSE Nifty500 Multifactor MQVLv 50 Index, enabling investors to participate in a portfolio built using four investment factors: Momentum, Quality, Value and Low Volatility.
The fund follows a passive investment approach and aims to replicate the performance of a customised multifactor index created and maintained by NSE for PNB MetLife to meet IRDAI investment norms. By blending multiple factors within a single portfolio, the strategy seeks to reduce reliance on any one investment style while delivering a more balanced investment experience across changing market environments.
The PNB MetLife Multifactor Index Fund is available to existing and new policyholders through select Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs), combining market-linked investing with life insurance protection.
Benefits of the PNB MetLife Multifactor Index Fund
- Exposure to Multiple Investment Factors: The fund combines four investment factors- Momentum, Quality, Value and Low Volatility- within a single portfolio, helping investors diversify beyond any one investment style.
- Diversification Across Market Cycles: By maintaining exposure to multiple factors, the strategy seeks to reduce style risk and support a more balanced investment experience across changing market conditions.
- Wealth Creation Alongside Life Cover: Available exclusively through ULIPs, the fund combines market-linked wealth creation opportunities with life insurance protection in a single solution.
- Potential Tax Benefits: Subject to applicable tax laws, maturity proceeds may qualify for tax-free treatment (Zero LTCG Tax) where consolidated annualised ULIP premiums do not exceed ₹2.5 lakh and life cover is 10X the annual premium.
- Backed by PNB MetLife’s Investment Expertise: While the Multifactor Index Fund follows a passive investment strategy, PNB MetLife’s equity funds have built a reputation for delivering benchmark-beating performance. Several equity funds have also earned 4-star and 5-star ratings from Morningstar3.
This fund can also be availed through our newly launched PNB MetLife Pension Hybrid Solution4, which provides a dependable, lifelong income to ensure our customers are ‘Always Ready For Life’.
