Products Plans MOVI

Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) is a Systematic Transfer Plan from Motilal Oswal Ultra Short Term Fund to Motilal Oswal Focused 25 Fund, Motilal Oswal Midcap 30 Fund and Motilal Oswal Flexi cap Fund that enables allocation between debt and equity asset classes based on the Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) levels. It allows Unit holders holding units in non-demat form to take advantage of fluctuations in equity market valuations and not just market levels.

A low MOVI level indicates that the market valuation appears to be cheap and one may allocate a higher percentage of their investments to Equity as an asset class. A high MOVI level indicates that the market valuation appears to be expensive and that one may reduce their equity allocation.

FAQs on MOVI

What is MOVI?

Motilal Oswal Value Index (MOVI) helps gauge equity market. The Index is calculated taking into account Price to Earnings, Price to Book and Dividend Yield of the Nifty 50 Index.

How is MOVI different from other valuation metrics such as P/E Ratio?

MOVI is calculated by not only looking at P/E in isolation, but taking into account Price/Book Value and Dividend Yield as well. The NIFTY MOVI is calculated and maintained by NSE Indices Ltd (IISL).

How is MOVI different from market indices such as Nifty 50 Index and BSE Sensex Index?

Most market indices such as Nifty 50 Index, BSE Sensex Index are price indices that provide a measurement of the market level. As time elapses, fundamentals of the markets change. Therefore, even when markets may be at a certain measured level, they may have become cheap or expensive.

NIFTY MOVI looks at the market levels in conjunction with the fundamentals of the markets and comes up with normalized (90 day average of MOVI index) levels of the market. This helps investors gauge the investment attractiveness of the markets. In essence, MOVI helps investors in understanding if the markets are cheap or expensive.

What would an investment return if one were to make investments based on MOVI?

Historical analysis from 1st January, 1999 shows that if an investor in equities when NIFTY MOVI levels are low, his or her investments is most likely to post good returns. Please refer to the table below.

Let’s consider two scenarios

Scenario 1 – Let’s assume the MOVI value is at 75 which means it falls in the range of 70 < 80. This should have encouraged you to increase your equity allocation as it would have returned 13.9%, 34.6% and 32.7% over the following 6, 12 and 24 months.

Scenario 2 - Let’s suppose the MOVI value is at 140.This should have encouraged you to decrease your equity allocation as your investments would have posted negative returns over the following 6, 12 and 24 months.

Historical Movement of MOVI vis-à-vis Nifty:

The ‘Indicative Buy’ and ‘Indicative Sell’ Zones defined above give an indication of increasing/reducing exposure to Equities.

For Example – In April 2003, when NIFTY MOVI was around the 67 levels and NIFTY 50 Index was at 984, if one had invested entirely in equity using NIFTY MOVI as an indicator, the investment a year later would have returned ~85%.

Similarly, if one were to look at December 2007, when NIFTY MOVI breached the 130 levels and Nifty was close to the 5,800 mark, if one had exited their equity investment using NIFTY MOVI again as an indicator, their investment would have been insulated from a more than 50% fall.
