Presentation: Global Trends in ETF and Index Investing

ETF adoption continues to grow globally. We have witnessed similar trends locally in India as well, with the launch of ETF across various segments in the post-COVID era. While the pace of new ETF launches has slowed over the past few years, flows into existing ETF products continue to grow, often at the expense of traditional mutual fund vehicles. With the slower pace of new product issuance, index providers must increasingly develop more unique and innovative methodologies to appeal to ETF providers and ultimately, investors. In this session, we will discuss the factors driving ETF adoption in different regions, and evolution of passives in the Indian market as well as exploring some of the new innovative ideas that Morningstar Indexes is developing to provide solutions to this growing industry.
