*Since Inception Date of CPSE ETF - 28th March, 2014
** Data ended 28.06.2019. (Source: MFI)
In addition, the CPSE ETF has given an annualized return of 5.55% for three years and 0.28% for five years, while the Sensex Total Return Index has given 12.63% annualized return over the past three years and 10.89% over the past five years.
Investment Rationale:
- In the recent budget, Finance Minister indicated that investments done in forthcoming ETF of CPSE would be eligible for income tax benefit u/s 80C up to Rs 1.5 Lakhs per annum. However, there is an ambiguity regarding the same on account of the Finance Bill which has not been passed till now, and thus, it has not yet got implemented.
- Relatively lower correlation ranging from 0.57 to 0.68 vis-à-vis Nifty 50 index (over 1 Year & 5 Years period ending 28th June 2019), helping portfolio diversification.
- Flexibility of trading on real time basis.
- Significantly lower expense ratio i.e. 0.0095%.
- Provides for diversification of exposure across a number of public sector companies through a single instrument.
Key Risks:
- Almost 80% of its weight are in 4 companies making the ETF highly tilted towards a single sector—energy.
- Tax benefit under section 80c, if present, is also likely to come with a three-year lock-in. For investors who are looking to save tax, exiting quickly after taking advantage of the discount may not be an option.
Conclusion:
CPSE ETF has been underperforming since inception. Excluding dividend yield, the returns are not lucrative enough. In addition, sector concentration towards energy and power and passive investment strategy pose risk. Cheap valuations look attractive but at the same time reflect poor prospects of companies constituting the ETF. However, an offer of 3% discount to all categories (though being the lowest on record) provides a trading opportunity at the best. Overall, the ETF scheme is 'neutral'.
