One of the profitable investments in the current market conditions includes ETFs. Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) refers to an index, commodity or an index fund which can be traded like a stock on an exchange. It is listed on a stock exchange and trades intraday, and can be described as, a Mutual Fund traded like a stock. However, there are several important differences between mutual funds and ETFs.

For example, if S&P 500 trades fifteen percent lower, the ETF that follows will decline by fifteen percent too. Likewise, if S&P 500 trades ten percent higher, the ETF that follows will trade ten percent higher. The concept of investing in ETFs is new as compared to mutual fund investments. This new investment arena provides great opportunities as currently there are very few investors with the necessary skill and knowledge.

The wealth management arm of the KARVY Group released the 2nd edition of its India Wealth Report today.

This Report studies patterns of individual investments across financial asset classes (excluding physical assets like gold and real estate) and finds that India's individual wealth is expected to nearly triple from the existing 86.5 lac crore to 249 lac crore by FY16. In fact, the wealth of India's HNIs has grown by over 18% compared to a mere 9.7% for global HNIs in the last one year.

Interestingly, the Report shows that fixed deposits & bonds has become the top contributor to overall wealth held by individuals in India, displacing last year's topper, direct equity, primarily due to the uncertainty in the financial markets.
