Regulatory Limits Cause Premiums on International ETFs Traded in India
International ETFs traded on Indian exchanges often trade at prices significantly above their net asset values (NAVs), creating premiums sometimes exceeding 80%. This occurs due to regulatory caps limiting Indian mutual funds' overseas investments, restricting new unit creation despite rising demand. As a result, ETF prices rise above intrinsic values, exposing investors to risks if premiums collapse. Unlike typical ETFs, authorized participants cannot arbitrage these premiums due to supply constraints, leading to sustained price disparities.
