5. A BRIEF HISTORY OF ETFs
ETFs were launched post the 1987 crash to overcome the lack of liquidity and intense
program trading in the market
The first ETF traded on a U.S. exchange was StateStreet’s SPDR (SPY), which was
introduced in 1993. SPY tracks the S&P 500 Index and is currently the most heavily-
traded security in the world.
Due to popularity of indexing in the 1990s, ETFs soon became popular amongst
individual investors and financial advisors as a transparent and liquid method of
indexing which was also better than index mutual funds
As the availability of ETFs grew for different asset classes, investment styles and
geographic sectors, it made possible for investors to construct a well diversified
portfolio at a very low cost

Editor's Notes
ETFs are typically open-end index funds that provide daily portfolio transparency, are listed and traded on exchanges like stocks on a secondary basis as well as utilising a unique creation and redemption process for primary transactions. ETPs are products that have similarities to ETFs in the way they trade and settle. They include ETCs (Exchange Traded Commodities/ Currencies) and ETNs (Exchange Traded Notes). Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) are similar to ETFs; however they track the performance of commodities markets, either using a physical/spot approach or futures contracts in order to achieve their objectives. ETCs are fully collateralised, meaning that counterparty risk is hedged out. The main difference between ETFs and ETCs is that the latter are debt securites instead of funds.Exchange traded currencies are secured debt securities. They give exposure to foreign exchange rates.ETNs are generally senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt issued by a single bank and listed on the exchange. They are not asset-backed. The underwriting bank agrees to pay an index return, minus fees upon maturity. Therefore by buying this product, investors get direct exposure to the credit risk of the underwriting party.
Core/Satellite investing is a method of portfolio construction designed to minimize costs, tax liability and volatility while providing an opportunity to outperform the broad stock market as a whole. The core of the portfolio consists of passive investments that track major market indexes.Additional positions, known as satellites, are added to the portfolio in the form of actively managed investments.

The Fund may allow cash Purchases of Units of the Schemes in Creation Unit size by Large Investors/Authorised Participants.
