ISHARES MSCI INDIA ETF

The asset is the iShares MSCI India ETF, which trades in the U.S. under the ticker INDA and is also available on the Hamburg Stock Exchange under the local code 01D6. This ETF seeks to track the performance of the MSCI India Index, giving broad exposure to large- and mid-cap Indian equities across sectors such as financials, energy, information technology, consumer, and industrials. ## Key characteristics - Asset type: Equity ETF tracking Indian stocks via the MSCI India Index. - Management company: BlackRock’s iShares platform. - Primary U.S. ticker: INDA; local Hamburg listing code: 01D6. - Expense ratio: Approximately 0.62% annually, reflecting the fund’s ongoing operating costs. - Launch date (fund): February 2012, so it has a long live performance history. ## Investment exposure The ETF’s underlying MSCI India Index targets about 85% of the Indian equity market by free-float market capitalization, primarily focusing on large- and mid‑cap companies. Major sector weights include financials, consumer-oriented sectors, energy, information technology, and industrials, making it a broad, core India exposure rather than a niche or thematic strategy. ## Example holdings The fund’s largest positions are typically in leading Indian companies such as HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel, Infosys, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Tata Consultancy Services, which together make up a significant share of the portfolio. Exact holdings and weights can change over time as the index is rebalanced, so current compositions should always be checked on the issuer’s site or a trusted data provider. ## How the Hamburg listing fits in The 01D6 line on the Hamburg Stock Exchange represents the same underlying iShares MSCI India ETF as INDA, but traded in the German market and typically quoted in euros instead of U.S. dollars. Price, volume, and spreads on the Hamburg venue can differ from the U.S. primary listing due to local liquidity, trading hours, and currency effects, even though both reflect the same underlying fund and portfolio.
