Frequently Asked Questions
What are equity ETFs?
Equity ETFs are exchange-traded funds that invest in a basket of stocks, typically tracking a specific index like Nifty 50, Sensex, or Bank Nifty. They trade on the stock exchange just like individual shares and can be bought or sold throughout the trading day at market prices. Equity ETFs offer instant diversification at a very low cost — their expense ratios are usually much lower than actively managed mutual funds because they passively track an index.
ETF vs index mutual fund — what is the difference?
Both track the same index, but ETFs trade on the exchange in real-time while index funds are bought and sold at end-of-day NAV. ETFs generally have lower expense ratios and no exit loads, but you pay brokerage on each trade and need a demat account. Index funds are simpler to invest in through SIPs and don't require a demat account. For lump sum investments, ETFs are often cheaper. For regular SIP investing, index funds may be more convenient.
What is tracking error and why does it matter?
Tracking error measures how closely an ETF follows its benchmark index. A lower tracking error means the ETF does a better job of replicating index returns. Tracking error arises from factors like fund expenses, cash drag, and rebalancing delays. When comparing similar ETFs — say two different Nifty 50 ETFs — the one with lower tracking error and lower expense ratio will likely deliver returns closer to the actual Nifty 50 performance over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ETF and how does it work in India?
An Exchange Traded Fund, or ETF, is a basket of securities that tracks an index, commodity or theme and trades on the NSE and BSE like a normal stock. You buy and sell units through a demat and trading account at live market prices during the trading session. Most Indian ETFs are passive, aiming to mirror an index such as the Nifty 50 rather than beat it.
How is an ETF different from a mutual fund?
Both pool investor money, but an ETF trades on an exchange in real time at market price, whereas a mutual fund is bought and sold once a day at NAV directly with the fund house. ETFs require a demat account and usually have lower expense ratios, while mutual funds allow SIPs and fractional amounts more easily. ETF prices can differ slightly from NAV due to demand and supply.
What is tracking error in an ETF?
Tracking error measures how closely an ETF follows its underlying index. It is the difference between the ETF's returns and the index returns over a period. A low tracking error means the fund is doing its job of replicating the index faithfully. It arises from the expense ratio, cash holdings, dividend timing and trading costs, so investors often prefer ETFs with consistently low tracking error.
Are gold ETFs a good way to invest in gold?
Gold ETFs let you invest in gold in electronic form, with each unit typically backed by physical gold of high purity held by the fund. They trade on the NSE and BSE, so you avoid the storage risk, making charges and purity concerns of physical gold. Prices track domestic gold rates closely. They are held in your demat account and can be bought or sold during market hours.
