2. History The very first ETF was issued in 1993 in US by State Street Global Advisors with the launch of the S&P 500 depositary receipts, also know as SPDRs ("spiders"). The very first ETF, in India, was launched by Benchmark Mutual Fund in the year 2002 named Nifty BeES which was based on the S&P CNX Nifty Index . 2

3. Introduction Basket of securities which are traded on a stock exchange. The investment objective is to mimic the same return as that of a particular market index. ETF originates through a new fund offering (NFO) by an AMC. Investors exchange their portfolios and cash component in return for ETF units. NFO are limited to large Institutional investors and other large investors. 3

4. ETF units are made up of two components- portfolio deposit and cash component. The NAV of ETF is the value of all the components of the benchmark index held by ETF, plus all accrued dividends less management fees. ETF can be either held as an investment or sold in the secondary markets. Investors also can redeem the ETF units in exchange for the underlying securities but not cash. 4

5. Advantages Buy and sell just like a share Minimum trading lot just one unit Provides Diversification Lower management costs than index funds, since they are listed in exchange and hence their sale and redemption are much lower. Traded throughout the day in stock exchange, hence better than open ended Mutual Funds which are traded only at days closing NAV with the AMC’s. 5

6. Better than closed ended Mutual Funds whose NAV’s may not reflect actual underlying assets whereas ETF NAV reflect actual because of arbitrage possibilities. Lower tracking error as compared to index funds because of arbitrage opportunities. Comparative ease in taking long and positions in ETF than an index fund. 6

7. Why Represents Actual NAV? NAV is at premium to under lying asset :- AMC can create additional ETF units by depositing lower priced securities. NAV is at discount to under lying asset :- AMC can redeem ETF units for higher valued underlying securities and sell it in secondary market. 7
