SMIN - India’s small cap ETF has returned 140% past 5 years FLIN/EPI for large cap, around 100% in past 5 years
India is attractive…looking at FLIN and SMIN
Indian ETFs like NAD/SMIN. Or a reliable proxy to the economy like ICICI ADR. This is consistently growing market, with risk averse and stable financial governance.
Those 1 year returns are in local currency, right? Also, consider that all top holdings of SMIN, and a good part of MSCI index are susceptible to H1B visa regulations. That's not going to be a cakewalk in Trump's era.
their performance looks amazing so i was going to go 50% VTI 50% SMIN, u think thats too much?
i was going to have %50 SMIN in my roth ira
Since Jan 2020 SMIN has out preformed SPY, AVUV, and SPYG by a wide margin, 6.3% higher. That being said, I don't own it, I don't know anything about India's economic sphere, and it doesn't guarantee it'll do better than those still in the future. However, I don't think it's a bad investment.
i was going to buy into SMIN since theyve had the biggest growth in the past 5 years compared to those 4 in the pic, i just dont know anything about india's market so wanted to get some opinions first
Play India thru ETF's like EPI, INDY, SMIN, etc
You can buy any ETF, including non Vanguard ones, from your Vanguard brokerage account. For example, to add to my VTI/VXUS investment, I invested in FLIN (Franklin Templeton India Large/Mid Cap) and SMIN (Blackrock India Small Cap)
I agree. I have $250K in VTI, and $250K in equivalent cash waiting to go into VTI (ups and downs as they come). For completeness: I have $150K in VB/VIOO, $100K in VXUS, $50K in SMIN, and $300K in VCIT. I also have some play money in individual stocks. A recent one that has done very well is COST. I also have GOOG and it is in the money in spite of some recent turbulence. Other long term holdings (mostly 10 years +) are DiS, AAPL, and QCOM.
INDA, EPI, FLIN, SMIN, INDY, PIN, nfty, glin, inqq, dgin, inde, indf Gotta admit there's a lot more etfs to short since the adani news. And for wsb, INDL (2x lvg bull etf)
I'm not selling much . Sold a bit and put that into SMIN....India ETF focusing on quality small cap companies there.
Very bullish on those. I own SMIN and INCO. Have done great the past 2 years.
Not stocks, but I’m a big fan of INCO and SMIN, two ETFs that track Indian company stocks. Both have done very well the last 2 years. INCO is consumer-facing companies; SMIN is small and mid-cap.
What about the other India based ETFs like SMIN and INDY? What are your thoughts on those? Bullish as well?

For example: Look at SMIN . Small cap India index was at 25 in 2012 , now 75 in 2024 200 percent return. S&P 500 has given a similar return but we are looking to diversify risk if we invest in more countries

Check out INDY, SMIN. They track Nifty 50 index, small caps relatively.
Please rate my portfolio. I have just started seriously learning about investing and hence need honest advice. **About me:** 32 year old, working in tech (have ESOP and also contributing to pre-tax 401k and ESPP). Married and wife also works in tech. **Individual investing account:** Contributing $1800 every month into this. Targeting an aggressive growth mix. Any thoughts? || || |BKCH| |FTEC| |SMH| |SMIN| |TRFK| |VIG| |VOO| |XMHQ|

SMIN is an ishares India small cap ETF that has been performing well
So for clean energy companies I've been looking at: SIEGY, NEE, and FSLR. I haven't dug too deep into the company's financials yet, but most of these companies have a solid foot hold in solar, wind, nuclear, and wholesale/distribution. I am still looking to add some more companies onto this list, but I haven't looked at too many companies. Indian ETFs are a bit limited, but they have huge exposure to not only large companies but also small to medium companies. And the diversity of sectors seems pretty nice in these ETFs.: INDY, SMIN, and IXSE. The room for growth is actually crazy. These ETFs are killing it for a little bit now. I am still in the process of gathering a full and complete list of all the sectors I want to invest in. What do you think about the sectors I want to get into? Does it seem a little too focused on tech?
I wouldn't say that I am. I haven't paid too much attention, but a lot of chatter is high on India going forward. I did recently open a token position in SMIN to keep an eye on it, but I wouldn't recommend India at this point, only if you are interested in India, then SMIN looks to me like the best choice.
Gonna keep it short cause this is wsb so fuck you I'm not an advisor. QQQ, VOO, maybe SMIN for some potential risky play/gain. Otherwise might as well just QQQ and VOO
SMIN is the current one year, three year and five year champ of US-based India ETFs.
Looking at SMIN, which is a small cap India focused ETF because I just started to research fastest growing sectors and then drill down to companies.
India economy, especially the rising middle class which will work more, corporations will grow and they will spend more...this in turn should be a prime time to buy a India small cap ETF like SMIN.
I think at 26 you have room to be more tactical than something as basic as VTI. You have 30-40 working years ahead, why settle for 7.62% Ann Return by owning, literally, everything. Do that when you are 60 and just need equity exposure for the sake of it, while generating income on the high growth assets in about to drop below. As of right now I don’t see why you wouldn’t just be QQQ and SPY for half-60% of portfolio. Add in the fun stuff like AVUV and SMIN for non correlated performance with potential full rip upside. And when you get excited about stuff like (ie) ai hype, then buy SMH and just own a little of everything in the space so you ride the wave instead of sinking with whoever doesn’t make it out of the next trend. Same with crypto related stuff- when the basket comes of spot eth spot btc coin and a bunch of miners it’ll be a nice thing to own. Especially in 15 years when the great wealth transfer occurs and millennials sell all that physical gold for digital. I would also get into whatever position(s) by selling puts. You don’t want to buy into high markets and lag indices forever. This is a combo that backtested will outperform, diversify, and de-correlate timing. Plus it’s a piece when you are more selective, you find to be conversational in social settings too. It’s fun to talk about the ride so enjoy it. Wishing you all the best of luck!
45% qqq 25% voo/spy 10% SMH 10% FEMS 5% SMIN 5% PJTXX (mm \~4.97% and 96% wkly liq ratio). 5% MM is used for massive pullbacks or tactical use if there are sudden dips. You have gas to burn at 45 so use it. In a couple years re-evaluate income oriented, but start with JEPIX or JEDI (9% yld) when you do, they dont break and always pay thanks to all the insnae volume in potions markets now. Without knowing your income needs you shouldn't even need income based products until the wealth accumulation creates a reasonable dollar factor on your yielding investments. Then when you reach RMD at 73, dont take the money but just journal to your trust and ladder munis for years in your trust. The RMD naturally risks you into the bond portfolio but maximized its growth when you had time to ride it out, creating a much larger portfolio with DOLLAR income worth taking (% is cute, if the money is right).
I put about 5-10 % in SMIN, FLIN and INDA. The fees are higher but these are the lowest ETFs i found. I want to be able to open a NRI or some type of local Indian brokerage account to but Mutate Funds or individual stocks but it seems complex
Don’t take advice from this sub. I asked a similar question when SMIN was at $40. People were shitting on investing in india due to corruption and whatnot. I invested it, put a shit ton of money into it, and haven’t regretted it

I bought Baba for international exposure. Just because a stick price goes down doesn’t mean it is less valuable as a company. And vice versa. Baba is a long position and relatively small. I also bought SMIN for India as a country with nearly a billion people has gigantic upside.
India, and if you like Grantham, small caps so SMIN. Had it, been following it, been surprisingly resilient. If it dips, barday, make pick it up.
For buying Indian individual stocks as retail participant you will need to be Indian citizen (resident or non resident). This applies even with interactive brokers for India access. Hence if you aren't one, best will be nifty index ETFs like INDA or INDY, small cap ETF like SMIN. Also some Indian stocks trade in US. (HDB, IBN, INFY, WIT, TTM, RDY) and AXB (London)
India market seems quite robust and bullish right now. INDA or SMIN for small caps have both done fairly well relative to many other foreign indexes.

For those looking for ETF exposure to India here are a few $NFTY $INCO $SMIN $INDF
You make an excellent point overall -- yes. Hadn't thought of that angle, but you're spot on -- constraining INR will simply usher in new payment methods/systems. And, SMIN looks interesting! While browsing I also discovered INCO (consumer-driven ETF; holdings are primarily auto / personal products. [https://www.columbiathreadneedleus.com/binaries/content/assets/cti/public/COLUMBIA\_INDIA\_CONSUMER\_ETF\_FS.PDF](https://www.columbiathreadneedleus.com/binaries/content/assets/cti/public/COLUMBIA_INDIA_CONSUMER_ETF_FS.PDF) Will definitely jump in this because apparently Modi just instituted a vehicle scrapping policy for vehicles older than 20 yrs. In cities like Calcutta this (could) have a major effect upon the taxi/hired car industry (this is an aside), but because the cost of imported cars is so high, it pretty much guarantees domestic auto purchases. This is, of course, if the policy is implemented as-planned, which is always a crapshoot.

From what I've read, especially since Modi constrained the supply of physical money, Indians have been pretty quick to adopt to fintech like paytm. So I'd rather not put big bets on banks, but that's my sort of default position in any country. I was also looking at SMIN (India smallcaps) which has been pretty up and down and obviously doesn't have Reliance, Tata, and Godrej in it. But interesting if you're bullish long term.
