WisdomTree, announced the launch of accumulating and distributing share classes of the WisdomTree India Quality UCITS ETF (EPIQ) on the London Stock Exchange, offering smart beta exposure to Indian stocks with a focus on quality as measured by above average returns on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE).<\/p>\n

The Indian equity market offers an exciting opportunity for investors; it represents the world’s seventh largest economy and the fourth largest equity market within emerging markets.<\/p>\n

In addition, having recently grown at a rate of 7.5% per annum, the IMF estimates that India will be the world’s fastest growing large economy over the next five years and they expect growth to average 8.1%. WisdomTree believes these positive fundamentals are underpinned by favourable demographics, a boost to fiscal spending, a lowering of tax rates and a stable political climate committed to reform.<\/p>\n

The new UCITS ETF tracks the WisdomTree India Quality Index, focused on the top 33% of companies using a combined ranking of the three-year average return on assets and return on equity.<\/strong> The index constituents are then weighted by market capitalisation. These factors have provided consistent exposure to quality stocks, offering the potential to deliver above average risk adjusted returns.<\/p>\n

\"Hamid“We’re excited to be launching EPIQ, an innovative ETF that provides a quality tilt on the Indian equity market,” said Nizam Hamid, ETF Strategist<\/b> (Photo).<\/strong><\/p>\n

  “Our Fund has the advantage of diversification, with over 100 constituents, and a broad sector exposure tilted towards the core drivers of growth in the Indian economy.”<\/p>\n

“With a favourable global macro environment, decisive policy making and exciting growth trends, India has a compelling strategic as well as tactical allocation investment case,” Hamid added.<\/b><\/p>\n

Morgan Lee, Head of European Distribution, said,<\/b> “Investors have expressed enthusiastic interest in gaining exposure to the Indian equity market via a physically replicating UCITS ETF as, up until now, investor choices have been limited. The addition of our quality titled methodology provides a differentiated solution for those looking to allocate towards this exciting market.”<\/p>\n
