Mirae Asset NYSE FANG+ ETF Fund of Fund NFO – Should you invest?
Mirae Asset NYSE FANG+ ETF Fund of Fund invests in ETF that would invest in NYSE FANG+ Index. Earlier, I have recommended a few times to invest in Motilal Oswal NASDAQ ETF that outperformed in the last 5-10 years. This NYSE FANG+ Index too outperformed and generated 32% annualized returns in last 7 years compared to NASDAQ 100 which generated 12.5% annualized returns. While this new fund is good, this is high risk fund considering the short term performance + overseas investment. If you are high risk investor, you can invest in this new fund for 5-10 years time frame. Moderate to low risk investors should avoid such funds.

Sir,
I am investing in above ETF through weekly SIP(only for 10 units each week but it may increase later on) besides my main mutual funds investment ( which consists diversified mutual funds including foreign funds) and wish to continue it at least for 15 years. Whether, my idea for long term investment in FANG+ ETF is good or bad? Thank you very much sir.
Long term of 15 years is good, you can continue to invest.
NAV of this MAFANG fund was Rs. 10 as per the prospectus but after allottment it was put at Rs. 48.60 and accordingly units got reduced by nearly 5 times. why it is so?
Hello Saindranath, The NAV of mutual fund would start at Rs 10 during NFO offer and later would go up or down depending on the performance.
But looks you have invested in ETF where the unit value is showing 49 now. The NAV of ETF would be computed by the net investments (total investments minus liabilities) / total shares outstanding. As an example if mutual fund collected Rs 1,000 and invested in company at Rs 500 per share i.e. 2 shares only. The NAV would be 1,000/2 = Rs 500. This is how ETF NAV is computed which is completely different from mutual fund NAV.
Hello Suresh Ji,
I don’t have any foreign exposure in my portfolio. Should i go with Mirae Asset NYSE FANG+ ETF Fund of Fund??? and what is the difference between Mirae Asset NYSE FANG+ ETF & Mirae Asset NYSE FANG+ ETF Fund of Fund. Pls give your valuable comments.
Yes, you can invest in such funds, but don’t expect immediate returns as stock markets are at peak even in US. First one is ETF (you need demat account for this) and second one is mutual fund that invests in this ETF (you do not need demat account, you can just invest like any other mutual fund). I would recommend go for second option.
Hi Suresh
Very good info. As I am already invested in Nasdaq100, US Bluechip & Parag Parikh FlexiCap
Do you think investing in this will add more diversification?
I responded on your other comment.
Hi I am already investing in
ICICI US Bluechip
Nasdaq 100
Parag Parikh
Do you think adding this would be overlapping or diversification?
What is your opinion? Should I avoid or invest?
Hello Shriram, Since you have two international funds and another flexicap fund that invests in US markets too, there is an overlapping of funds. If your overall portfolio has 10% or 15% from international funds, then avoid, else you can consider this fund too.
Can u give a comparison between investing in motilal Oswal nasdaq 100 ETF vs Motilal Oswal nasdaq FOF direct
Difference/Expense /Advantages/Disadvantages
Hello Suresh garu,
Is it advisable to invest in this NFO or is it better to already invest in an existing fund from another house which has the same FANG+ investment philosophy?
Any advantages / disadvantages either way?
Thanks,
Siva
Hello Siva, Currently there are funds that invests in US stocks / NASDAQ 100 index etc., There is no fund that invests in FANG+. We could see growth in such funds (history talks). I would personally like to invest in such funds along with NASDAQ 100 index also (diversify between these two)
where we can invest money in safe instrument where we can get 9% to 10% yearly return.
Rohan, If this option would have been available, I would have been the first person to invest. One can expect 10% to 12% returns in equity and mutual funds but that comes with risk. There are zero safe instruments that provide 10% returns.
Hi Suresh Sir,
Good article, informative…..thank you..
Regarding taxation, what about the tax if we invest from our NRE accounts directly and i am being a NRE account holder / working abroad , currently not in any tax brackets. If i invest in overseas funds, how would be tax calculated. So far i haven’t paid any taxes and not under tax regime.
Please advise….
Thank you,
Pushpan KV.
Hello Pushpan, This is international mutual fund and returns from such fund would be taxed like debt funds (< 3 years STCG and > 3 years LTCG). Since your query is NRE, this is little complicated as there are several rules and guidelines for NRE accounts. Refer this link. https://groww.in/p/nre-account/ which has some insights to it
Q – How they will be taxed ?
Q – Are these funds are subject to tax in US also?
Taxation on international mutual funds would be based on tenure
1) Short Term Capital Gain (STCG): If you redeem this fund within three years, then it is termed as Short Term Capital Gains. These gains are added to your income and are taxed according to the tax bracket you fall in.
2) Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG): If you invest for 3+ years, then your returns are classified as Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG). Such gains are taxed at the rate of 20% percent after indexation.
Regd capital gains taxation in US, yes, these would be taxed as per US tax laws.
