Vinay M Tonse, Managing Director & CEO at SBI MF said passive funds are gaining traction in India where investors would like to invest in line with an index. Investments in ETFs are beneficial for those looking to get exposure to a broad range of asset classes at a lower cost.
DP Singh, Chief Business Officer at the firm said the consumption has underperformed Nifty and investors can benefit from a rebound in consumer product demand as fears on Covid subside.
More than timing the market, the launch of the consumption ETF is just to complete the bouquet of product offerings, he added.
As of now, ETFs account for 25 per cent of the overall AUM, he said.
The Nifty India Consumption Index, which consists of 20 stocks, is rebalanced on a semi-annual basis.
