Frequently Asked Questions
What are thematic ETFs?
A thematic ETF holds companies linked to one idea, such as artificial intelligence, clean energy or cybersecurity. Because it holds a narrow group of companies, its price usually moves more than a broad index fund's, up and down. How much of a portfolio, if any, suits a theme depends on your goals and the rest of your holdings.
What differs between a US-listed ETF and an Indian mutual fund for an NRI in the UAE?
A US-listed ETF is priced in US dollars and counts as a US asset: for a person who is not a US citizen or resident, US estate tax can apply above US$60,000 of US assets, and US dividends paid to a UAE resident usually have 30% withheld because the UAE has no income tax treaty with the United States. An Indian mutual fund is priced in rupees; India taxes an NRI's gains on equity funds at 20% within 12 months and 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh a year after that, deducted when you redeem, and the India UAE treaty may apply. The outcome depends on your nationality, residence and facts, so confirm your position with a tax adviser.
How do ETFs and mutual funds differ?
An ETF trades on a stock exchange during the day at the market price; a mutual fund is bought from the fund house at the day's NAV. Index funds and ETFs that track an index usually cost less each year than actively managed funds, so compare expense ratios. NRIs in the UAE can generally invest in Indian mutual funds once KYC is complete, paying from an NRE or NRO account; US-listed ETFs are bought through a broker that serves UAE residents.
What does top-performing mean in the ETF Explorer?
ETFs are ranked by return over the period you choose, among funds with assets above US$500 million. Leveraged and inverse ETFs, which reset daily and suit short holding periods, are left out, and returns above 500% are treated as data errors. A high recent return says nothing certain about the next one: check cost, worst fall and 3-year volatility in the ETF screener too. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
