ETF.net Research

INQQFThe India Internet ETF

SMINAiShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF

In short

INQQ Most e-commerce ETFs are Amazon-and-friends with a sprinkle of the world. INQQ goes the other way: a concentrated basket of Indian internet and online-commerce companies, and nothing else.

SMIN Most US-listed India funds stop at the blue chips. SMIN keeps going down-cap, tracking an MSCI index of roughly 500 smaller Indian companies, and it has been doing that job since 2012.

Stated mandate

INQQ The fund seeks to track an index representing an investable universe of publicly traded Indian internet and ecommerce companies.

SMIN The fund seeks to track the investment results of an index representing small-capitalization equity securities in India.

Why people hold it

  • INQQ Single-country focus. The index covers publicly traded Indian internet and ecommerce companies, a mandate its peers in the e-commerce cohort (EBIZ, IBUY, ONLN) don't offer.
  • Plain plumbing: an index-tracking 1940 Act equity fund that owns the stocks. No swaps, no leverage, no derivatives overlay to unpack.
  • Deliberately tight. A couple dozen names means the leading Indian internet businesses drive returns instead of being diluted by a 200-stock tail.
  • From EMQQ Global, a boutique issuer built around emerging-market internet indexing, which launched INQQ in 2022 to isolate India.
  • SMIN Owns the slice of India the headline funds skip: roughly 500 small caps, versus the 50-name blue-chip lineup at INDY.ishares.com
  • At 0.74%, the fee lands right around the middle of the US India-fund pack, which is unusual for a specialist small-cap sleeve.
  • One of the stronger implementations among US-listed India funds: tight tracking of its stated index, iShares plumbing, and a live record back to 2012.

Worth knowing

  • INQQ The specialty carries a specialty price: 0.86% a year, above broader e-commerce options like OGIG (0.48%) and EBIZ (0.50%).
  • Small and thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than in the large global e-commerce funds.
  • One country, one theme, a couple dozen stocks. Indian market swings, currency moves and local regulation land here undiluted.
  • SMIN Small caps inside one emerging market swing hard in both directions, and rupee moves stack on top of the stock moves.
  • Reasonable for the niche, pricey next to broad India trackers: FLIN charges 0.19% for the large-cap version of the trade.
  • Moderately traded rather than a top-of-book giant, so size your orders with care. Cash comes back once or twice a year, not monthly.
