Economical: Nifty BeES is a no-load scheme. The annual expense ratio including management fees is a maximum of 0.80% of the Daily Average Net Assets, which is one of the lowest for any mutual fund scheme in India. The cost is reduced further to 0.65%, for assets over Rs.500 crore.

Neutral: The performance of Nifty BeES is simply the result of the performance of shares in the S&P CNX Nifty Index and demand & supply in the market. There is no Fund manager bias.
Transparent: As Nifty BeES replicates the S&P CNX Nifty, investors can know at any given point of time where and how much is invested in each stock.
Instant Diversification: Investing in just one unit gives exposure to fifty shares of the S&P CNX Nifty. This allows investors to spread risk with one single decision.
An Equitable Structure: The unique "in-kind" mechanism of creating/redeeming Nifty BeES by exchanging a pre-defined portfolio ensures that long-term investors do not bear the cost of short term trading as observed in the traditional Open-ended structure. This insulates long-term investors from the short-term trading activity.
This gives the investor away from the worries regarding the selection of quality stocks and its performance in the future. Say, if one invests in a reputed company, namely ONGC, looking at its historical price and current CMP and the growth potential etc.

But the problem arises when everything is good and the economy is growing. However; the particular oil sector is on the verge of shrinking due to global crude practices etc. Thus the purpose of entire long term investment fails. In such a scenario, if the investment is classified and bifurcated across all the segments, it could generate much handsome returns.
