ICICI Prudential CNX 100 ETF aims at replicating the CNX 100 Index providing a diverse array of stocks from 38 sectors of the economy.
Mr. Nimesh Shah, MD & CEO, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company said, “This fund is an effort at providing our investors a more wholesome basket of ETF offerings. It is an example of a simple product made available on a larger platform to retail investors. This also supplements our ETF product range. Investors have been focusing on physical assets such as Real Estate & Gold. Over the past 5 years, physical assets have outperformed the financial assets. In our opinion, financial assets (especially equity) have become extremely attractive from long term investing perspective. ICICI Prudential CNX 100 ETF will be another step in our endeavor to enable this.”
The ETF will be managed by Fund Manager Mr. Kayzad Eghlim.
