After Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are the most innovative and popular investment options in India.
Harsh Jain, Co-founder and COO, Groww says, “While the ETF market in India is still in its nascent stages, 2020 was a volatile year for most ETFs too. Based on the YTD figures, Gold ETFs performed better in 2020 as compared with equity or currency-based ETFs.”
Index funds mostly track a certain index, hence, industry experts say there wasn’t a great deal of change in their performance in 2020 as compared to 2019. The median annual returns in 2019 were 13.49 per cent and the median annual returns in 2020 were 13.42 per cent. However, they gained tremendously in terms of popularity with investors as they grew 80 per cent year on year in terms of average assets under management.
According to a survey by Groww, some ETFs and Index Funds were seen to be popular among investors.
