<ul><li>Indians hold the <a href="https://www.silverinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/World-Silver-Survey-2021.pdf">third</a> largest physical silver investment in the world. </li><li>The industry earned ₹1,400 crore in assets from <keyword id="1438523" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="silver-etfs" source="Orion">silver ETFs</keyword> till July 2022. </li><li>Silver is used as an inflation hedge because of its industrial usage in solar panels, electric vehicles and electronics. </li><li><keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> is among the top 20 producers of silver globally. </li></ul>Due to the rising need for green energy, the use of cellphones alongside increasing adoption of electric vehicles, one commodity is going to be in great demand, and that’s silver. Unlike gold, the price of silver is driven by the demand for the precious metal. Gold is typically considered to be a hedge against inflation and a safe haven. So with demand for silver rising, several asset management companies are launching Silver exchange traded funds. For instance, an average cell phone contains 0.3 grams of silver and an electric vehicle needs 25-30 grams of silver during production. An average solar panel needs 20 grams of silver. The metal is also used in electronics, brazing, jewellery and tableware to list a few. This increased utility combined with rarity, durability has made it an investor’s choice. After the US and Germany, India ranks <a href="https://www.silverinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/World-Silver-Survey-2021.pdf">third</a> in terms of largest physical silver investment holdings. It is also amongst the top 20 silver producing countries. This has prompted leading asset managers of the country to launch an investment tool — silver <keyword id="46594" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="etfs" source="Orion">ETFs</keyword>. Why consider Silver ETF? The value of a metal, whether it be gold, silver, diamond or platinum is determined by its purity, which is difficult to achieve. Hence investors are cashing in on the opportunity without holdings by investing in ETFs. Last year, five big mutual funds in India, ICICI <keyword id="4460105" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="prudential-amc" source="Orion">Prudential AMC</keyword>, Nippon India AMC, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, DSP Mutual Fund, and HDFC AMC, announced their plans to launch silver ETFs. In January 2021, ICICI Prudential AMC launched India's first silver ETF scheme, which is the first silver-based fund in India. The funds have already collected ₹1,400 crore in assets from silver ETFs till July-end, according to data provided by <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/mf/mf-news/mutual-funds-flock-to-silver-etf-space-with-new-schemes-collect-rs-1400-cr-assets/articleshow/93845328.cms?from=mdr">Morningstar India</a> this year. Moreso, silver is becoming rarer. Silver mining has increased 5% last year from 2020, said an Edelweiss report. However, silver supplies dropped into a deficit since last year, and analysts predict another sizable deficit of 72 million ounces in 2022. During bull markets, silver has soared much further and faster than gold due to high industrial <a href="https://www.edelweissmf.com/nfo/edelweiss-gold-and-silver-etf-fund-of-fund.html">demand</a>. Therefore it is often a tactical play, claim investment experts. How do you sign up for a silver ETF? The sign up process for a silver ETF in India can be done through mutual fund managers, personal finance advisors and mutual fund platforms. The customer has to submit their KYC on the platform, along with Aadhar and PAN details. Both Aadhar and PAN should be linked. Apps like <keyword id="6189412" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="groww" source="Orion">Groww</keyword>, <keyword id="759851" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="zerodha" source="Orion">Zerodha</keyword>, Upstox and PayTM money can be used by tech savvy investors. For a more traditional approach, a mutual fund advisor or chartered accountant can be approached. Reading up on the offerings of each mutual house ETF is essential as they differ in strategy and price. The fund managers of each mutual fund house are subject to change and it is important to keep a tab on their latest moves. How costly is the silver ETF in India? The range of the silver ETF varies according to the mutual fund house it belongs to. The silver-based ETFs got a green flag from the <keyword id="6355630" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="securities-and-exchange-board-of-india" source="Orion">Securities and Exchange Board of India</keyword> (Sebi).

Physical silver must be of standard 30 kg-bars with 99.9 percent purity (999 parts per thousand) conforming to London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).” The regulator has also asked the fund houses for physical verification of silver underlying the Silver ETF units. Needless to say, all metals and their value is affected by macroeconomic conditions of the world and the stock market. Edelweiss Mutual Fund on August 24 this year launched India’s first silver-gold ETF, combining the inflationary power of gold and usability of silver. The scheme will invest in both metals and adjust the percentage as the performance of markets determine.

Recently, investment platform <keyword id="759851" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="zerodha" source="Orion">Zerodha</keyword> had also received an approval from India’s market regulator to enter the mutual fund business. The announcement comes months after markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had allowed digital finance platforms to enter the mutual funds business and Groww has become the first fintech to enter the asset management space. Bengaluru-based Groww is a stockbroking startup founded by former Flipkart employees – Lalit Keshre, Harsh Jain, Neeraj Singh, and Ishan Bansal. <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/groww-to-acquire-indiabulls-mf-for-rs-175-crore/articleshow/82545180.cms">Reportedly</a>, the digital platform bought Indiabulls AMC for ₹175 crore. Indiabulls AMC is one of the smallest mutual fund companies with an average assets under management (AUM) of ₹631 crore in a ₹36 trillion MF industry. It has 11 schemes across equity, debt and hybrid categories. Schemes of the mutual fund business are averagely rated due to its performance. So, it needs to be seen how Groww can transform the MF business.

The data indicates rising interest of individuals in financial assets like stocks, bonds, mutual funds. Adding to it, data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) shows that in the year ended March 2020, the net financial assets in India — defined as gross financial assets less financial liabilities — jumped from ₹13.73 lakh crore in FY19 to ₹15.62 lakh crore in FY20 due to decline in borrowing from banks. Since interest rates have remained low in the country for quite some time, investors have shifted more savings towards soaring markets. Many new retail investors entered the industry in the last one year as interest rates kept depleting and markets kept surging. In fact, 14.2 million demat accounts have been opened in FY21, according to SEBI data. “The net financial assets of Indian households have grown due to fall in bank deposits and increase in investments. Lower interest rate environment, combined with friction-less access to financial markets due to fintech services and online brokers, is one of the key reasons for this spike in financial assets in India. As of January, India's total demat account stood at 51.5 million, a 26% increase compared to the end of FY20,” said Nikhil Kamath, cofounder of Zerodha. Most new investors that have come in the last one year are lured because of the record high Sensex/Nifty 50 levels and ease in opening a demat account, doing e-KYC through popular online trading platforms like Zerodha. Zerodha holds 18.85% market share with 33.9 lakh unique active investors followed by Upstox with 10.9% market share with19.6 lakh unique active investors, reveals data by stock market analytics platform Trade Brains. These online trading platforms hold greater market share over traditional broking firms like Angel Broking, ICICI Securities and Motilal Oswal Services. <table style="border-width: initial;

because of ease in online investment procedures like e-KYC, payment gateways, access to relevant information on fingertips and FOMO (fear of missing out) effects, highlights Neelabh Sanyal, chief operating officer and cofounder of Kuvera. “Minimum investment options by banks and mutual funds, subdued returns on non-financial assets such as real estate and availability of surplus cash due to pandemic have attracted investors to financial markets. Besides, the investor is also evolving and naturally gravitating to financial assets due to higher transparency, standardisation, liquidity and strong regulatory environment as compared to non-financial assets,” said Sanyal. Ravi Kumar, founder and chief executive of Upstox feels that financial assets will continue to grow in the coming time as investors have learned the importance of investing. "Indians are increasingly preferring financial assets over physical assets. While non-financial assets give a sense of ownership, financial instruments such as mutual funds and equities are easy to liquidate. Also, due to the pandemic people have learnt the importance of investing, portfolio diversification, and hence financial assets will continue to grow in the future," said Kumar.

Through its campaign, Groww aims to capture the surge in investing among millennials, which has been enabled by easy to use <keyword id="10055209" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="investing-apps">investing apps</keyword> like Groww. The ad illustrates a dining table conversation between a son and his father, where the father lectures the son on the complexities involved in choosing the right stock. In contrast, the son goes ahead and buys shares in his father’s company with just a few clicks. The film has been launched on television and all social platforms of the brand and can be viewed here: <div type="Youtube" id="empCzxhnLVs" title="Stock Investing - Made Easy &amp; Simple | Download Groww | #InvestWithGroww" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/empCzxhnLVs/mqdefault.jpg"></div> The film has been conceptualized by <keyword id="7644795" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Script-Room">The Script Room</keyword>. The ad film, part of the campaign, talks about one of the most popular wealth creation avenues – stocks. Laced with humor, the ad conveys a serious point of investing early by bringing to life the core creative idea – To make wealth, one needs to invest smart and invest early. Commenting on the new ad campaign, Harsh Jain, Groww said, “With an easy-to-use interface and robust technology offering, Groww aims to make investing easy and smart for the younger generation and democratize wealth creation. The film’s narrative highlights these aspects in a simple yet effective manner, and we hope this will resonate well with our target audience.” According to Rajesh Ramswamy (Ramsam), Co-Founder, The Script Room, “Through this campaign, we wanted to offer a refreshing POV of youngsters in a category in which they have never been taken seriously. With any financial communication, much is lost in jargon. We wanted to avoid this and stick to a casual tone to make it more understandable and relatable.” The COVID pandemic has proved to be an inflection point for stock investing in India. The number of new Demat accounts opened this year have been the highest in our history. According to BSE, the number of mobile trades has tripled since March, while according to NSE, Mobile trades now account for a quarter of the cash market deals. This growth is predominantly fuelled by apps like Groww that have made it easier for millennials and GenZ to invest in the stock market by removing complicated paperwork and long waiting time, as used to be the case earlier. The Groww app also provides all the necessary resources which an investor may require to conduct in-depth stock research: such as information about the company’s financials, peer comparison, shareholding pattern, live market activity, etc. In September, Groww had raised a Series C funding round of $30 mn (220 Cr), led by YC Continuity. The round also saw participation from its existing investors - Sequoia India, Ribbit Capital, and Propel Ventures.

While users worried whether this was another downtime faced by the apps, the answer is actually quite simple. <div type="twitter" handle="SalmanRooney" handlename="Salman" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1350093731110633473/tp0IRD_Q_normal.jpg" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" status="Brookfield IPO not available on Zerodha ??@zerodhaonline" createdat="1612411997000" id="1357180399798001665"></div><div type="twitter" handle="AbhishekZao" handlename="Abhishek Zao" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1278619437306753024/j5q-lM4__normal.jpg" favoritecount="1" retweetcount="0" status="@ipo_mantra Sir Brookfield ipo not showing in Zerodha" createdat="1612413652000" id="1357187343636000768"></div> The UPI method of applying for REIT IPOs is not yet allowed by India’s market regulators. There are three types of IPOs that you could apply for – equity, bonds, and REITs. For REIT issues, the UPI method is not yet live, for bonds it was taken live on January 1st, where brokers still have to build systems to take it live on their apps. <div type="image" title="image (41)" msid="80686519" hostid="261"></div> Mohit Mehra, business analyst at Zerodha breaks it down for us. “In the first REIT issue - Embassy, the minimum application size was for ₹2.40 lakh compared to the minimum application size of ₹55,000 for Brookfield. Although the limit for UPI IPO applications is ₹2 lakh, the system is not yet live by the exchanges. So, brokerages can’t offer it via UPI. SEBI may soon issue directions to take REIT IPOs live on UPI as it did for bonds,” he said. Mehra added that REIT units are different from equity shares in terms of the underlying structure. “Investors should check the suitability of financial products in their overall portfolio before investing in them,” he said. Here’s how you can apply for Brookfield REIT IPO You can apply for REIT IPOs using your net banking. Per directives, every IPO bid should be backed by ASBA or Application Supported by Blocked Amount which allows the bank to block funds in the applicant's account for the application's value till the time the shares are allocated. Most of the Syndicate Banks provide access to apply in Brookfield REIT IPO via the ASBA process. You must have your net banking access, DP ID information to apply for Brookfield REIT IPO via ASBA. Banks like Axis, SBI allow you to apply maximum 5 applications from one bank account. However, ICICI, HDFC bank has a limit of one IPO ASBA application per account. <div type="image" title="image (42)" msid="80686533" hostid="261"></div> Here's a detailed guide on <keyword id="10704869" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="how-to-apply-for-Brookfield-REIT-IPO">how to apply for Brookfield REIT IPO</keyword> through ASBA: <ul><li>Sign in to the net banking of your registered bank portal.</li><li>Under the menu button, click on "Request".</li><li>You will now be directed to a new page to apply for the IPO.</li><li>Select the IPO you wish to apply.</li><li>Enter the required details such as bid quantity and applicant information.</li><li>Click submit after confirming the details.</li></ul> SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/reliance-subsidiary-to-sell-all-of-its-upstream-assets-in-marcellus-shale-play-for-250-million/articleshow/80682497.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Reliance subsidiary to sell all of its upstream assets in Marcellus shale play for $250 million</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/kishore-biyani-says-sebi-ban-wont-stop-future-group-deal-with-reliance/articleshow/80680781.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Kishore Biyani says SEBI ban won't stop Future Group's deal with Reliance</a>

New Delhi, As the surging <keyword id="6354947" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="bitcoin">Bitcoin</keyword> grabs most of the headlines, Ether or Ethereum, the second biggest cryptocurrency, is touching <keyword id="10720211" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="record-valuation">record valuation</keyword> and could still be bought cheaper -- for nearly ₹1.16 lakh or $1,600 for one Ether. According to industry players, Bitcoin which is hovering around $40,000 is beyond the reach for <keyword id="10720212" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="most-investors">most investors</keyword> while Ether that has touched an all-time high is still within reach. According to Rahul Pagidipati, CEO, ZebPay, Ether tends to follow Bitcoin. "Now that Bitcoin has hit record high and is consolidating, investors are adding Ether. Together the two <keyword id="2721952" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="crypto">crypto</keyword>currencies constitute nearly 80 per cent of the total crypto market cap," Pagidipati said. "Nearly 3 million ETH ($3.8 billion) have been locked up for long-term staking, removing them from the buyable supply. With lower supply comes higher prices," Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin said that Ether is touching record valuation because Bitcoin is consolidating and investors are looking at Ether to reap greater economic benefits in the long term. "Ethereum is up about 135 per cent since the start of the year and is expected to become as valuable as Bitcoin in the years to come," Thakral added. "We hope Indian counterparts will take note of this and enable the growth of the digital asset industry in India by providing a positive regulatory environment. Ethereum <keyword id="6355684" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Blockchain">Blockchain</keyword> has very strong fundamentals and a lot of projects are using it to power their infrastructure." As India plans to introduce the 'Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021', to prohibit all "private cryptocurrencies" in the country, the industry stakeholders have come out in unison hoping that the Indian government would listen to all stakeholders before taking any decision. "As more people see new applications for the Ethereum protocol, like staking, they're realising that Either is real and has lasting value, just as they are realising the truth about Bitcoin," said Pagidipati. Owning one full bitcoin is probably a dream now for most people. "But you can still buy a full Ether for ₹1.6 lakh, still in reach for many. Those who remember Bitcoin at that price may be thinking that this opportunity won't last for much longer," the ZebPay CEO noted. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is already exploring the possibility as to whether there is a need for a digital version of fiat currency and in case there is, then how to operationalise it. The apparent softening in RBI's stand on cryptocurrency came after the Supreme Court last year set aside a circular issued by the RBI that barred any entity from providing banking services to anyone dealing with virtual or cryptocurrencies. The RBI, in its booklet on payment systems, noted that central banks around the world are examining whether they could leverage on technology and issue fiat money in digital form. With the overall value of all cryptocurrencies surpassing the $1 trillion mark, industry experts have said that crypto may become the most important asset class of the 21st century and India needs to catch up fast with the global trend.
