NSE cautions investors over pricey overseas ETFs as demand surges

What happened: NSE cautioned investors over overseas ETFs trading at significant premiums to their net asset values, as prices surged while underlying overseas holdings stayed broadly stable. Key numbers: Some ETFs traded roughly 65% to 80% above underlying holdings in September. Nifty 50 fell about 8% and Sensex about 9% over the past year, while Nasdaq-100 gained roughly 24%. Why it matters: NSE attributed the divergence to supply constraints and regulatory changes, saying Indian mutual funds have exhausted overseas investment limits, restricting creation of fresh ETF units.
