Selecting a Better ETF

Passive investing has experienced significant growth in India over the past few years with investors placing faith on instruments such as index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These investment options have steadily increased their share in the total assets under management (AUM) of the industry, now accounting for approximately 9 per cent of the mutual fund industry. Even on absolute terms their AUM has seen an increase of 20 per cent in the last one year. The question is whether you should blindly follow this trend and invest in ETFs or index fund.
