What is CPSE ETF?

CPSE is   stands for Central Public Sector Enterprises. CPSE ETF is exchange traded index fund. It consist from 10 PSU companies stocks. CPSE index consist from Maharatnas, Navratnas and Miniratnas. These 10 constituents are ONGC(26.72%), GAIL(18.48%), Coal India(17.75%), REC Ltd(7.16%), Oil India Ltd(7.04%), Indian Oil Corporation(6.82%), PFC Ltd(6.49%), Container Corporation(6.40%), Bharat Electronics(2.0%) and Engineers India Ltd(1.13%). It is a part of government’s disinvestment program.

This idea has begun before 2 years back and now government has come with this CPSE ETF. The government has selected the Goldman Sachs Mutual Fund to manage CPSE ETF. Goldman has run gold ETF successfully which is listed in the name GOLDBEES in both NSE and BSE. The issue is open from 19th March, 2014 to 21st March, 2014.

Why invest?

It is clear that government want to sell stake in PSUs more as its proposed disinvestment program and want to reduce its fiscal deficit through it but before investing in this ETF NFO investors should consider all aspect of this issue.
It offers 5% upfront discount on reference market price. If investors hold it till one year, they will get 1 loyalty unit for each 15 units hold. These 10 companies are among the best companies from all available PSUs. These companies are available in very cheap rate now so current valuation also is attractive to purchase it. The expected dividends are also a main reason to purchase it.

Why not invest?

It is not good for short term investor as it is equity fund. So equity related risk is always there. It is new type of product which is not related any particular sector or theme. It seems that this ETF represent too many power and energy sector companies. Although the valuation is attractive at the current time but keep in mind the fact these PSU companies run by not competent promoter. Before invest in this ETF evaluate all possible pro and cons.
