Key Growth
Drivers
The major growth in ETF segment started in
2014 when the
Government decided to take ETF route for disinvestment through CPSE ETF and
after witnessing the success of the first CPSE ETF, DIPAM subsequently came up
with a couple of more tranches of CPSE ETF in 2016-17 and Bharat 22 ETFs in
2017-18 , 2018-19 and 2019-20. The total capital mobilised via CPSE ETF and
Bharat 22 ETF is ~ Rs 90,000 Cr. Also, in August 2015, in a momentous move,
Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) started its investment in the
stock markets for the first time through Nifty50 and SENSEX based ETFs.
Increasing awareness about ETFs, Large cap
active funds struggling to outperform large cap indices based ETFs and Low fund
management fees of ETFs are few other key factors which has helped the growth
of ETF in India.
