Hi,
Starting to plan a Monthly SIP for next 10-15 years on Large cap segment. Shortlisted these two. One is passive index fund and other is actively managed large cap fund.
1) Nifty 50 Index Fund.
2) Canara Robecco Bluechip Fund. (Large Cap)
Should i go for Passive index fund or Active large cap. I am okay paying little additional expense ratio for active fund.
Does the second option beats the index?

Canara one has outperformed Nifty 50 Index over 10 years. One of the very few to do that.
You can put 50% in Nifty 50 index & 50% in canara bluechip in case u get too confused

Index fund.
In such a long time it's difficult to outperform the market, so active funds (like CR blue chip fund) tend to show average performance compared to benchmark. But when you consider fees of active funds (much higher than index funds) their net performance is relatively lower.

Agree expenses are less but still double the index fund. These things matter over long run. To be honest, even I have invested in the CR BC fund. But more investment is in index funds.
There are many ifs and buts for an active fund. If the fund manager changes, they dont catch a market cycle, they increase expense ratio. Over long run, v difficult to deliver outperformance over benchmark.
You have selected CR blue chip fund out of so many schemes. But do you know there are many other schemes that are not in existence today, they have closed down because of under performance. This is survival bias.
So, just to expect outperformance by CR for another 10-20 years, would be too much. Ultimately almost all funds reverses to mean.
To summarise, if you want to invest and forget do index or do etf if have demat.

What you and @Sachin9811 mention hold true.
