list-of-etfs-in-india-moneyhandle

Exchange-traded funds abbreviated as ETFs are not something new to the stock markets. Yet I have come across a large number of people who don’t know about them. There are a total of 122 ETFs listed on the National Stock Exchange in India. In this post, we will try to explain everything you need to know about ETFs in India and the list of ETFs in India.

The First Indian ETF

In India, the first ETF was launched by Nippon India Mutual Fund company, earlier known as Reliance Mutual Fund. The first ETF was a Nifty 50 ETF, called “NiftyBees” launched in December 2001. The ETF has given almost 16% return since inception and you can still purchase it. Now 20 years later, we have 122 ETFs are listed on the NSE.

1. What are Exchange-traded funds or ETFs?

From the name itself, you come to know that an ETF is some kind of ‘fund’ that is traded on the exchange. It is just like a mutual fund. The only difference is that you can buy or sell it on the stock exchange just like you buy and sell stocks. You will need a trading account for buying/selling an ETF and a Demat account where the ETFs will be stored.

An ETF is basically a collection of assets(stocks, bonds, or commodities such as Gold, Silver, etc).

ETFs are usually launched by Asset management companies that launch Mutual Funds. Examples of these companies are Motilal Oswal, ICICI Prudential, Nippon, Mirae Asset, etc.

An ETF is managed by a fund manager just like a mutual fund. An ETF has an expense ratio that denotes a fund management fee.

2. How many types of ETFs are available in India?

In India, ETFs are broadly classified into 4 categories, namely:

  • Equity – these ETFs track equity indices such as Nifty 50, Sensex, Nifty IT, Nifty Midcap 150, etc.
  • Debt – In the Debt category, ETFs track Bonds, etc,
  • Precious metals – We have Gold ETFs and Silver ETFs tracking prices of the respective metals.
  • International Equity Indices – You can invest in International stock indices such as Nasdaq 100, Hangseng, etc. through ETFs.

Later in this post, we will look at the list of all ETFs available in the above categories. You might get surprised by looking at the list of all ETFs available today.

Can you believe that it is now possible to invest in an index on the Hong Kong stock exchange through ETFs without needing to open an overseas account! Yes, markets are getting exciting for retail investors in India.

3. Listing of ETFs on the stock exchanges

The two most prominent stock exchanges in India are the National Stock exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Almost all ETFs are listed by the Asset management companies list all their ETFs on both these exchanges.

You can very easily find them on your stock brokers app by searching their names. For example, try to type ‘NETFIT’ and you will find it there.

NETFIT is an ETF by Nippon AMC which tracks the Nifty IT Index. It does not matter much whether you buy them from NSE or BSE.

4. Can you list the differences between a mutual fund and an ETF?

Sure, let’s look at the similarities and the differences between a Mutual fund and an ETF in the table below:

S No. Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)Mutual Fund
1.Listed on stock exchanges such as NSE, and BSE.Not Listed on stock exchanges
2.Lower expense ratios.Higher expense ratio than ETFs
3.ETFs are managed by a fund managerAlso Managed by a fund manager
4.Can buy or sell anytime during trading hours on stock exchanges.Cannot buy/sell on a stock exchange.
5.Demat account/Trading account is necessary to invest.Demat/Trading accounts are not required.
6.No option to get a dividend payout. Only the Growth option is available.You get the option to choose between Dividend payout (IDCW) or dividend reinvestment (Growth)
7.Intraday trading is possible.Any sort of trading activity is not possible.
8.Sale Proceeds from holdings are received on a T+2 basis similar to any other stock. (here T is the day of sale)When you sell your Mutual fund units, proceeds are sent to your bank on T+3 day. (here T is the day of sale)
9.No Minimum investment is defined. You can buy as low as 1 unit just like a stock.Usually, a minimum investment is mandated by the fund houses such as Rs 500 or more.
10.SIP is not possible although some stockbrokers offer SIP through indirect means.SIP option is available.
List of differences between Mutual funds and Exchange-traded funds or ETFs.

5. What is “Expense Ratio” in Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)?

Exchange-traded funds, just like Mutual funds, are managed by a dedicated fund manager who is responsible for maintaining the fund and does the buying/selling of stocks for the fund. To pay for the salary of the fund manager and make some profit for the fund house, the fund levies a small charge called ‘Expense Ratio’.

Since most ETFs are passively managed, the expense ratio is usually extremely low and even lower than that of index funds. You can understand the difference through the following illustration in which we compare the expense ratios of an ETF with an index fund from the same company where both track the same underlying assets:

FundTotal Expense Ratio
Nippon India ETF Nifty BeES (ETF)0.05%
Nippon India Index Fund – Nifty Plan (Direct plan) (Index Fund)0.18%
Comparing expense ratios

From the above table, we can see that the ETF is more than three times cheaper than a direct index fund which already is very cheap.

6. What are the benefits or advantages of investing through ETFs?

Exchange-traded funds come with numerous benefits such as:

  1. A very low minimum investment requirement of 1 unit.
  2. ETFs are passive funds and usually have lower risk than stocks.
  3. ETFs are an excellent choice for investing in broad market indices such as Nifty, Sensex, etc.
  4. They are very cheap because their expense ratios are usually very low (less than 0.5% mostly).
  5. ETFs can be purchased at real-time prices instead of closing day prices as in mutual funds.
  6. No need to contact a Mutual fund house or a broker. You can buy ETFs directly from your trading app.

7. What is ‘Tracking Error’ in the case of ETFs?

In any index fund or ETF, the returns generated do not exactly match the returns of the underlying asset. This difference is known as ‘Tracking Error’. The actual returns generated by the ETF could be less or more than the underlying asset being tracked. For tracking error to be zero, the asset allocation needs to exactly match the underlying portfolio at all times which is practically very hard to do.

What are the reasons for Tracking errors in ETFs?

Tracking errors may occur due to multiple reasons such as:

  • The fund manager may not be able to allocate available money exactly in the same proportion as in the underlying portfolio due to corporate actions, expenses, and fees of the scheme, changes to the underlying index, regulatory restrictions, etc.
  • Trading in some securities may be halted due to reasons such as activation of circuit breakers, making it impossible to invest at that time.
  • Fund house may keep some cash aside for unexpected circumstances which may also lead to tracking errors.

8. How can I buy ETFs in India?

If you have been reading till here, you know that you need a trading and a Demat account to buy an ETF. The process is exactly similar to buying shares. Let me illustrate how to buy an ETF in Zerodha’s Kite mobile app.

Buying ETF in Zerodha: Step 1- search for the ETF. Step 2 – Select quantity, price, etc., and buy.

9. How many ETFs are listed on NSE?

As of 11th April 2022, there are 122 ETFs listed on NSE. We have ETFs tracking Gold, Silver, Bonds, Equity broad market indices, Equity thematic indices, international equity indices, etc.

12. Are ETFs recommended for beginners?

Most equity ETFs track stock indices containing multiple stocks. Consequently, the risk is reduced due to diversification. However, the downside is that the returns also become limited. But overall, ETFs are a wonderful instrument for investing in the stock markets for beginners and experienced alike. If you want to invest in passive funds, ETFs are the way to go apart from index funds.

13. Why are ETFs not popular or Why nobody talks about ETFs?

ETFs are passive funds with very low expense ratios and are tradeable on the stock exchanges, unlike mutual funds. Nobody has the incentive of selling these funds. Therefore, no salesperson or broker talks about ETFs. Remember, commission-free products are very less popular but this does not mean that they are bad.

14. What is the Bharat Bond ETF?

Bharat Bond is a passive debt fund issued by Indian PSU companies. It is a very low risk and offers a better yield than Bank FDs. Bharat Bond ETFs are available and can be bought by the interested people.

Famous Options trader PR Sundar recommends buying the Bharat Bond ETF and pledging it to conduct trades. However, this may not be suitable for all. You can watch his video here – My BIGGEST Trading Secret – Earn EXTRA 7% Guaranteed!

Conclusion

The motivation for this article was my frustration of not being able to find the list of ETFs available in India. I observed that recently ETFs have been gaining momentum among retail investors. Be it investing in Gold or indices such as Nifty or Sensex, ETFs is becoming the investor’s favorite. In the last year, we saw various new ETFs being launched. I could not find out the ETF ticker, expense ratio, etc in one place and so I decided to compile this list. I hope my effort will be of some value to my precious readers. Please let me know in the comments if this helped you. Thanks for reading.
