ETO - 101 MUTUAL FUNDS
Economic Times 18 hrs ago·20 Jul 2026, 8:37 am
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved a proposal to allow mutual funds to invest in a basket of 101 stocks. This new framework, known as the ETO (Exchange Traded Option) structure, is designed to make it easier for fund managers to create and trade index-based products. Instead of buying every single stock in an index, funds can now use this single basket to gain exposure to a market segment.
This move is significant for investors as it is expected to lower the cost of creating index funds and ETFs. By simplifying the investment process, it could lead to more efficient pricing and potentially better returns for retail investors. It also provides fund houses with greater flexibility to manage their portfolios.
Investors should watch how fund houses roll out these new products. As the market adjusts to this change, it will be important to monitor the performance of these new funds and ETFs. This development is a step towards a more sophisticated and accessible Indian capital market.
