Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FLINAFranklin FTSE India ETF

INDQDPacer ActiveAlpha India Quality ETF

In short

FLIN Franklin's India fund runs the whole large- and mid-cap market at 0.19% a year, a fraction of what most India ETFs charge. Same country, same index-tracking job, cheaper meter running.

INDQ Most India funds hand you the same large-cap giants. INDQ screens the Nifty 500 and Nifty Microcap 250 on quality, value and momentum, keeps roughly 20 to 30 names, and rebuilds quarterly.

Stated mandate

FLIN The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE India RIC Capped Index.

INDQ The fund seeks capital appreciation by screening the ActiveAlpha India Quality Index for leading companies using quality, value, and momentum criteria.

Why people hold it

  • FLIN Charges 0.19% a year, well under the typical India ETF fee and under every other top-scoring fund in the group, including INDA, INDY and SMIN.
  • Tracks the FTSE India RIC Capped Index with very little slippage, one of the tightest index-following records among India funds.
  • Roughly 240 Indian stocks in one ticker, plus a billion-dollar-plus asset base and steady daily trading, so spreads stay manageable for ordinary orders.
  • Live since 2018, giving it a multi-year track record through India's boom and its drawdowns rather than a fresh-off-the-line prospectus.
  • INDQ The index ranks on quality, value and momentum, then holds roughly 20 to 30 Indian companies with weighting caps. Concentrated enough that individual names actually register.yahoo.com
  • The starting universe pairs the Nifty 500 with the Nifty Microcap 250, so smaller Indian companies are in scope, not only the household blue chips.yahoo.com
  • Built with ActiveAlpha, a Mumbai-based index provider, and rebalanced quarterly so the roster reflects current factor rankings rather than last year's leaders.yahoo.compaceretfs.com

Worth knowing

  • FLIN One country, one currency. Indian politics, rates and a moving rupee land directly in the price, with no other market to cushion the swing.
  • The RIC Capped index trims oversized positions to meet US fund diversification rules, so returns can drift from an uncapped India benchmark.
  • Distributions come annually or semiannually, and Indian large caps are not a high-payout market. This is a growth-exposure tool, not an income stream.
  • INDQ At 0.88% a year, it costs several times the broad international factor funds (INTF at 0.16%, GSIE at 0.25%). Single-country concentration and local research carry a price tag.
  • Launched in 2026, still small and lightly traded. Spreads can run wider than on the big established India index funds.
  • About 30 stocks in one emerging market: company, sector and rupee moves all land in the price. The stated mandate is capital appreciation, not income.
