Benefits Offered by ETFs

  • Instant exposure to a well-diversified portfolio or an asset class.
  • Real-time buying and selling of ETF units throughout the trading hours just like any other equity Security.
  • Most ETFs have a lower expense ratio than comparable mutual funds. Not only does an ETF have lower shareholder-related expenses, but because it does not have to invest cash contributions or fund cash redemptions, an ETF does not have to maintain a cash reserve for redemptions and saves on brokerage expenses.
  • No sales load for investor. Only normal brokerage charges apply.
  • Low tracking error- ETF's trade close to their NAV's unlike substantial premiums/ discounts associated with close-ended funds that trade on the bourses.
  • Tax efficient instrument, capital gains taxes for investors of ETF tend to be much lower than those in mutual funds due to in-kind creation and redemption process.




Trading, Settlement & Risk Management

ETF’s trade just like any other normal listed security on the BSE, settlement is just like any other stock. In case an investor has purchased ETF from the market, he has to pay the broker before the pay-in on T+2 and in the case of sale, an investor has to transfer ETF units from his demat account to his brokers account before the settlement on T+2.
