ICICI Prudential Nifty PSU Bank ETF, an open-ended exchange traded fund that tracks the Nifty PSU Bank Index, has been launched by ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund. The performance of the index's 12 PSU bank businesses will be reflected in the ETF. The subscription period for the New Fund Offer (NFO) begins on March 13, 2023 and ends on March 15, 2023. 

  

Speaking on the launch of the product, Mr Chintan Haria, Head – Investment Strategy, ICICI Prudential AMC commented, “Over the past decade, PSU banks have undergone a transformation on account of their improving efficiency, customer centric approach, technological superiority and improving risk management frameworks. As a result, since 2018, net NPAs have fallen by over 65 per cent while capital adequacy ratio has risen by almost 15 per cent. This improvement is reflected in equity market as well, with the Nifty PSU Bank TRI delivering better returns than both Nifty 50 TRI and Nifty Bank TRI over the last few years.”

Hi, I especially wanted to say I loved your blog and how well-curated it was. AMC roku can be a difficult topic to cover on the internet solely because of a lot of misleading information. I am very glad your article is down to earth and very informative. Kudos and keep up the good work.
