Risk Factors of investing in CPSE ETF FFO 3 – Nov 2018
1) Stock markets are volatile now. Any market correction would lead to erosion of NAV and your investment value would get reduced in future.
2) This ETF Scheme concentrates in certain sectors, hence it is high risk.
3) This scheme invests in equity, which would be volatile every day.
4) The NAV of the Scheme will react to the securities market movements. Hence profits appearing today may vanish tomorrow based on market movements.
5) Although the Units of the Scheme are listed on NSE and BSE, there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop. Hence there would be a time when trading in the Units of the Scheme would be infrequent or halted.
6) The equity markets and Derivative markets are volatile and the value of Securities, Derivative contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. This volatility may cause the value of investment in the Scheme to decrease.
7) The returns from the Securities comprising the Nifty CPSE Index may under perform returns of general Securities markets.
8) The Scheme is not actively managed. Since the Scheme is linked to an index, it may be affected by a general decline in the Indian markets relating to its underlying index. The AMC does not attempt to individually select stocks or to take defensive positions in declining markets.
How is CPSE Exchange Traded Fund has performed in the last 3 years?

Should you invest in CPSE ETF FFO 3 Nov 2018?
CPSE ETF has been under performing since inception. This ETF is not giving returns even what bank FDs are giving. Investors have been waiting to under lock the value of CPSE ETF which did not happen in the last 3 years. Top 4 holdings contribute to 80% of the ETF value which are driving the NAV of this fund. Many experts are saying that forget about short term, this is not even a long term bet. I feel one should safely ignore this ETF at this point of time. Alternatively, you can invest in some of the large cap mutual fund schemes that can give better returns.

What is fund managers charges & When & how they will collect ?
Is is worthwhile purchasing it now and selling it on listing day? For the 4.5 percent profit?
Hello Dr. Yousuf, If stock markets are stable or raising, it is possible to get this 4.5% profit. we can’t predict how market would be on listing day
I do agree with your view market is unpredictable however since the shares of the contributing companies are down from 2 -3 days and looking after the over subscription of anchor investors and 4.5% discount to non anchor it seems good but confusing scenario as the previous strenches not performed and wealth stands reduced to long term investors.
That is life. Stocks are going down. CPSE ETF has not been performing well from launch. But Anchor investors are still buying…
