The move is expected to help investors participate in a market upside with lower risk and volatility, and spread their risk better. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is mulling the sale of exchange-traded funds (ETF) focusing on metals, including silver and platinum, to institutional and retail investors. The regulator said the move will encourage investment in a lower-risk, less-volatile market than equities, allowing for better risk management. In its latest annual report, SEBI has flagged that it wants ETFs focused on metals as part of an effort to boost investor confidence amid concerns about global economic growth.
