Bharat 22 ETF to debut on Tuesday; aims to raise Rs 8,000 cr, to be part of Rs 72,500 cr divestment plan

Mumbai: The Bharat-22 exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to raise an initial amount of Rs 8,000 crore for government, will open for investors on Tuesday and end on 17 November. The ETF, which is a diversified portfolio of 22 blue chips, will open for anchor investors on Tuesday and for non-anchor investors on 15 November and close on 17 November. This ETF is a part of government’s overall disinvestment programme, which has set a target of realising Rs 72,500 crore this fiscal. “Bharat 22 ETF aims at bringing broad-based ownership pattern to public sector enterprises. The disinvestment programme now forms the core of government’s investment strategy,” joint secretary at the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management Anuradha Thakur told reporters here. While the initial issue size for the ETF is Rs 8,000 crore, we can also consider going beyond looking at the response, she added. A discount of 3 percent has been offered to all categories of investors. [caption id=“attachment_4207703” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Representational image.

This ETF, which is being managed by ICICI Prudential AMC, comprises select companies from the private sector having an exposure to the extent of 39 percent while the rest are public sector firms. “We believe the ETF offers an attractive long-term investment opportunity to partake in the India growth story by way of a diversified blend of companies spread across several sectors and are available at attractive valuation and a good subscription discount,” ICICI Prudential AMC managing director and CEO Nimesh Shah said. He further said the highlight of the scheme is its in-built mechanism for rebalancing and ability for periodic booking in stocks which has delivered better returns. The ETF mirrors the BSE Bharat 22 Index which comprises select companies from the CPSE universe, stakes held under the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India (Suuti) and public sector banks, from the underlying universe consisting CPSE companies, Suuti A group companies, and PSU banks. The total expense ratio of Bharat 22 ETF is up to 1 bps, which is the lowest in the ETF universe. “This adds to the overall merit of investing in this ETF,” Shah added.
