Special Report: India ETFs In Focus
Emerging markets have gained tremendous popularity and managed to attract significant capital inflows in recent years as opportunities abroad have overshadowed the sluggish growth prospects for much of the developed world. The rapid growth and ongoing evolution of the exchange-traded universe has brought forth a host of products that allow for investors to easily tap into previously difficult to access corners of the global equity market. Investors have embraced the exchange-traded product structure as the preferred means for accessing equity markets all over the globe, taking full advantage of the low-maintenance, ease-of-use, and cost efficiency benefits associated with the ETF wrapper.
India has been flying under the radar as a sleeping giant over the past decade, however, the country has taken major strides in recent years to affirm its position as a global economic power. This South Asian nation is often times overshadowed by China, although many analysts are anticipating that India’s population will eventually surpass China’s, potentially making it the second biggest economy in the world. Rising income levels coupled with a massive middle class population have paved the way for tremendous investments in health care, education, consumer goods, and infrastructure. Favorable demographic trends and local consumption patterns make India certainly worth a closer look for those interested in diversifying their portfolios. This appealing asset class is now available with all the benefits that come along with the exchange-traded structure, including low expenses, transparency, intraday liquidity, and the potential for enhanced tax efficiencies.
The ETFdb team of analysts assembled this report with the goal of highlighting all the aspects that should be considered when searching for the right India ETF, as well as giving our objective reviews on a handful of different products in this space. Investors can choose from ETFs linked to traditional market cap-weighted indexes, or opt for alternative products that delivers exposure to emerging markets with a twist (several unique ETFs are covered in this report). We hope you’ll find the material to be a valuable resource in your research and investing; we welcome any comments or questions on the topic you may have.
