ETF Investing for Beginners | Exchange Traded Funds | How to Invest in ETF | ETF vs Mutual Funds

[@jasmanjeet]

I have just discovered this channel and watching some of this videos as a beginner investor, i can say this is a seriously underrated channel.

[@shankarnath]

Thank you!

[@pranavraval3352]

Thank you Shankar, just recently i shifted my bias from ETF and started investing in similarly priced or even lower cost index fund (considering ETF price fluctuations vs actual NAV and also the other charges like STT, stamp duty, etc) Maybe in a next video it would be very nice to see how the returns of ETF compare with index fund over a long period given that ETF price (at time of purchase) during market hours may be different than the actual NAV of the ETF, whereas in case of index fund there are no such discrepancies.

[@shankarnath]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@janmejaymohanty9454]

Pranav Impact cost is the hidden cost as rightly said by Sankar sir which differentiates etf from index funds, inflow and outflow impact also takes toll on unit price in index funds which is not in case of etf. Moreover,NAV is wrong term you used in case of etf unlike index funds.

[@lordrdx666]

Best line in the video - kuch toh hai!

[@shankarnath]

Thank you Ravi. Kuch toh inaam mila :)

Very useful information about investment in MFs and I have invested in Mirae Assets Nifty small cap 250MQ100 MF, after seeing your earlier Video, Thanks

[@shankarnath]

Most welcome!

[@roopali3369]

Watch at .75x make more understanding n thank you for this mind blowing ETF mantra

[@sohan1976]

The most important advantage is as you mentioned the NAV of MF is beyond our control and doesn’t feels right any time you invest in it. ETFs are far better with less expense ratios and no lockin periods. Hope the Fund houses will introduce more ETFs than MFs in future.

[@mannatpadha8369]

I can see "Misbehaving by Richard Thaler" in your background, I found the text to be pretty intense in terms of understanding the argument. I know it would be easier for you to read this given your eminent knowledge. Was just happy to see that book in someone's life

[@shankarnath]

Hello. I haven't read Mr. Thaler's book. The books in the background were: 1. Richer. Wiser. Happier by William Greene 2. Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham 3. Thinking. Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

[@vinayreddy6417]

[@swamidasdalvi4845]

Your videos are amazing. You might want to put out a video on the making of ur videos as your narration and content is off the charts. 👍👍 Didn't really get the explanation behind impact cost and why inflow/outflow does not impact ETFs. Goes to basics of how an ETF operates vs an index fund I guess which I'm a bit short on.

[@shankarnath]

Thanks for the suggestion & feedback

[@ashishlukka]

Sir, at 12:08, the part with creating new shares when there are buy orders is not clear. Does it mean that somehow etf are also 'derivative' in some aspects?

[@shankarnath]

Pls read these two articles: 1. www.schwabassetmanagement.com/content/understanding-etf-creation-and-redemption-mechanism 2. www.nseindia.com/products-services/etfs-creation-redemptions

Another advantage is that ETFs are also pledgable.

Hello, nice video. Can you pls make a video comparing a mutual fund index and similar etf if we had invested same amount for same period of time after all taxes and other cost. So we can know exactly that after (say 5-10 years) which investment will be better.

[@shankarnath]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@zoheb50]

Hi Shankar! Apart from my already balanced mutual fund portfolio (comprising one each of large, mid & small cap funds) how do i pick the right ETF and add it my portfolio which could balance it well and generate good long time returns?

[@shankarnath]

Hello. Pls watch today's video (link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJDJY3ubo6tkmbM). It's very relatable to your question and my quest was to create a balanced, structured & almost passive portfolio structure. I'm guessing that's what you are hinting at aswell

[@abhishekb5002]

[@TheViralSneeze]

Another advantage of ETF is, consolidation of assets. You don't need separate tracking for mutual funds & stocks you hold (& saving annual maintenance charges on COIN, though Zerodha had abolished these monthly charges of ₹50/month later) Shankar ji, would await your data backed educational vdo on international REIT investment options

shankar ji , Please make a video on Leveages , how to build Leverages to buy shares and pay off the leverages gradually. Could not find it anywhere. . Please take it ... This is very essential . I know you read all comments. I follow up hence have asked this question.

[@shankarnath]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@ziaur2k]

Shankar Ji, if ETF were supposed to follow Index, then pls explain, today' s Hang Seng Index down by -0.75 %, while Nippon India Hang Seng Bees ETF down by -5.83%?

[@shankarnath]

Hello. While the expectation of perfect match is true, here are some things one should account for -- specific to international ETFs: 1. Time Zone Differences -- when the ETF is trading in India, the Hong Kong market might have already closed. This means the ETF is trading based on the latest closing price of the Hang Seng Index but market sentiment in India can still impact the ETF’s price 2. Currency Exchange Rates - For the Nippon India Hang Seng Bees ETF, the performance is not just dependent on the movement of the Hang Seng Index, but also on the INR-HKD exchange rate. A sudden depreciation can lead to mismatch 3. Tracking Error - Every ETF has tracking error. It takes time to buy and sell to match-up with the exact present status of the index. Plus there is management fees, rebalancing costs etc. to worry about. This leads to discrepancies and remember points 1 & 2 aswell 4. Expectations - Indian investors can use global cues about HK's market condition and trigger a sell off pushing the price down even though the Hang Seng Index hasn't fallen as much on that day You'll have to factor in all these to see what might have happened

[@shanthanalur4714]

Very informative, thank you. Is it possible to show us the different well performing ETFs performance over time and also what stocks are held in those ETFs, thanks

[@shankarnath]

Thx for the suggestion. You can extract the list of top ETF performers from a platform like moneycontrol.com and check the constituents there.

[@ksprasad1978]

Thanks a lot for sharing the valuable information on ETFs.I have a very basic question.Is there a possibility that an ETF can be discontinued from trading in exchanges after a certain period of time?If yes what would happen to our units that we are holding?

[@shankarnath]

Most welcome. I'm sorry, I am not aware of the process. However I did find an article on this which might be helpful -- blog.shoonya.com/etf-closures/

[@nareshy89]

Looking for this video since last year. Thank Sir you gave us a complete guide about etf/ index fund. I have a little confusion about taxation part. As the person who did received short term capital gain on his capital during the year then his gain is taxable @15% of the profits. My question is that if his taxable income is less than the taxable limit still he is liable to pay @15% or not?

[@shankarnath]

Most welcome. Kindly consult a tax advisor for specifics

While investing in an ETF, should I choose NSE or BSE, which exchange is better.

[@ajayrungta5131]

Did not understand the difference you started explaining at 11:55

[@mahi_13189]

@shankarnath: quality content as always! 👍. I know there is a striking difference between a small case and an ETF. But, can you pls do a video on what would be the rationale in picking between two for a long term investor? Asking this in the context of this small case: "Top 100 Stocks" by Windmill Capital. Basically they have just added two ETFs (nifty 50 and Junior bees) under it and routinely update the weightage between two during their rebalances.

[@rodge_interio]

Shankarji, your video insights are very useful. Can you make video on how to select mutual funds or ETF and also list a few with comparison on tax savings with indexation benefit. as we know investment not more than 65% equity and 35% debt get indexation benefit. but this are funds and etf are hard to find.😅

[@shankarnath]

Thanks for the suggestion. You can try valueresearchonline.com to find balanced ETFs.

[@rstuvxyz123]

Your videos are very useful . I am trying to invest in the newer index etfs and MFs mentioned by you in another video,whoch are smart beta,but my question is most of them have very low AUM less than 500CR even,so is it risky to invest in such funds? Will it afffect our returns when there is massive withdrawals and also will liquidity be affected? Like mirae asset small cal 250 index quality 100 fund?

[@shankarnath]

Thank you 🙌 If there's a situation where you'll be selling a few lakhs in one-go, then liquidity might present a problem at times. You can assess daily volumes here: www.nseindia.com/market-data/exchange-traded-funds-etf

[@prakashb7742]

Excellent information

[@shankarnath]

Thank you

[@priyadarshinipadole9442]

very helpful video. Covering almost everything. I have been trying to understand the allocation of units done when invested during NFO period. So do we receive the units as per the NAV or as per face value in case of investment done in the NFO period. Eg. If invested 2100/- in ICICI Oil and Gas ETF at face value Rs.10 during NFO period and the fund opened at 12.74 how many units are we to receive. I would be very obliged if you could help to make me understand this.

[@shankarnath]

Thank you, glad you liked it. My understanding is that you should receive 210 units (2100 divided by 10). If you are looking to invest some money in an NFO, please do observe this & also let me know

[@apurbamazumdar968]

Kindly explain why in the case of ETFs the quoted price is always higher than the NAV?

[@shankarnath]

The market price will typically exceed the NAV if the fund is in high demand with low supply. This is what is currently happening with international ETFs after the SEBI instructed mutual funds to halt fresh subscriptions in their overseas ETFs from April 1 onwards

[@balgates30]

Excellent content. Do we have any ETFS in India that pays quarterly dividends?

[@shankarnath]

I'm not sure. On a more broader level, unless the tax liability is low (0% or 10%), dividends won't make much sense. It's better to redeem units from time to time and pay capital gain on them. This way the taxation is lower. With re: your question, please explore -- www.valueresearchonline.com/stories/51500/are-dividends-on-etfs-credited-to-the-investor-s-account/
