What is an ETF?
Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, are a type of security that track an index, sector, commodities or other assets, but which can be purchased or sold on the stock exchange like any regular stock. They combine the features and potential benefits of stocks or bonds and mutual funds. Like individual stocks, ETFs can be traded throughout the day at real time prices that change based on supply and demand.
What are the benefits of an ETF?
Simplicity - Buying / Selling ETFs is as simple as buying / selling any other stock on the exchange.
Realtime Trading - ETFs allow investors to take benefit of intraday movements in the market, which is not possible with open-ended Funds.
Low cost - The cost of investing in ETFs is generally lower than an active fund invested in the same market of assets.
Seamless trading - Existing investors insulated from bearing transaction costs of other investors coming in or going out.
Transparency - Holdings published daily, so investor always knows exactly what is owned.
How is an equal weight strategy different from market cap strategy?
Under Market cap strategy, stocks are weighed based on free-float market capitalisation while under equal weight strategy, stocks are weighed equally (there is no valuation or size bias).
While the weights for all stocks are equal, weights for relatively small stocks are still high compared to their weights in market cap weight index strategies – which could be a reason for the equal weight index to outperform.
Smaller capitalization stocks are typically less researched and less tracked and hence has more opportunities of being undervalued and thus tends to outperform as and when such pricing discrepancies are identified and corrected – and when such stocks outperform, having higher weights to such stocks in an equal weighted index strategy pulls the index return up - outshining other index strategies.
How is the Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index different from Nifty 50 Index?
The NIFTY50 Equal Weight Index represents an alternative weighting index strategy to its market capitalization weighted parent index, the NIFTY 50. The index includes the same companies as its parent, however, weighted equally.
Example – HDFC Bank constitutes 9.1% of the Nifty 50 Index due to its size represented through its large free-float market cap. While the same stock has 2.0% weight in Nifty 50 Equal Weight Index, thereby eliminating bias caused by size of the company.
