Speaking on the NFO Launch, Siddharth Srivastava, Head – ETF Products and Fund Manager, Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India) Pvt. Ltd., said, “The Nifty Metal ETF will allow investors to take either tactical exposure based on short-term view on metal and commodity cycle or a long-term exposure due to India’s focus on infrastructure and manufacturing. The PSU Bank segment in the last few years has witnessed a significant improvement in asset quality, risk preparedness, and strong turnaround in profitability. The PSU Bank ETF aims to provide focussed exposure to this segment which has the potential to continue on its current track of growth and profitability”.
Growth in Indian infrastructure and manufacturing sector has caused an increase in demand for metals. Capital inflow due to Steel Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes are expected to generate an investment of ~INR 30,000 Cr. Source: Data as on Dec 31, 2023; Trading Economics; Ministry of Mines, Care Ratings. Data as per Latest forecast. Increased infrastructure spend is expected to contribute 25-30% of metal demand in the next decade. Nifty Metal ETF aims to provide focussed exposure to companies participating in this segment.
The PSU banks have outperformed private sector banks and several other sectoral indices in the past three years driven by a strong turnaround in profitability and asset quality improvement. PSU banks provide wider access to rural and semi-urban India and play a key role in promoting economic growth and financial inclusion, potentially unlocking the next phase of growth. The Nifty Bank Index has a lower allocation toward PSU banks, hence PSU Bank ETF will provide investors a focussed exposure to this segment at a relatively low-cost.
