Can I purchase a single ETF share?
Here are some pointers on how to go about buying them to diversify your portfolio.
ETFs can be purchased at any time while the stock market is open, and because they are traded on major stock exchanges, their prices fluctuate just like stocks. ETFs, according to Sara Rajo-Miller, a financial manager at Miracle Mile Advisors in Los Angeles, are “essentially a superior form of a mutual fund since they are more liquid and tax effective.”
Most mutual funds have a $3,000 minimum investment requirement, whereas an ETF can be purchased for as low as $1.
Is it possible to trade ETFs intraday?
ETFs are baskets of securities that trade intraday on a stock exchange like individual stocks and are often designed to mimic an underlying index. They are structured similarly to mutual funds, using a fund holding strategy. That they have a variety of possessions, similar to a mini-portfolio.
Typically, each ETF is focused on a single sector, asset class, or category. ETFs can be used to help diversify your portfolio or to profit from market movements if you’re an active trader. Furthermore, because ETFs are traded on an exchange like stocks, many of them allow you to take a “short” position (providing you have an approved margin account). A short position allows you to profit from downward price movement by selling an ETF you don’t own. In the case of an upward price rise, shorting a trade exposes you to theoretically unlimited risk.
Intraday trading is one of the fundamental differences between ETFs and mutual funds. The net asset value, or NAV, is the price at which mutual funds settle at the end of each trading day. ETFs, like stocks and other intraday traded instruments, are exchanged on the exchange during the day, therefore their price swings with market supply and demand.
Is it possible to buy gold ETF on Zerodha?
It’s November 7, 2012, and Diwali is just around the corner. The auspicious day of Dhanteras falls on November 11, 2012 this year.
Wikipedia explains Dhanteras as follows: Dhanteras (Hindi:, Marathi: Dhantrayodashi) is the first day of the Diwali Festival, which is celebrated in areas of North India for five days. “Dhantrayodashi” or “Dhanvantari Triodasi” is the name of the celebration. Dhan denotes prosperity, while Teras is the 13th day of the Hindu calendar. On the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna paksha (dark fortnight) in the Hindu calendar month of Ashwin, it is commemorated.
Goddess Lakshmi’s “Owl” form is worshipped on Dhanteras to provide prosperity and well-being. Dhanteras has a unique meaning for the business community because it is the day when precious metals are traditionally purchased.
Gold is everyone’s favorite precious metal, and it’s traditionally purchased on Dhanteras. Buying gold as jewelry isn’t the best approach to invest because it’s illiquid, you have to account for making charges, and so on… The greatest way to invest in gold is through ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), and the NSE is holding a special session this Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to trade solely Gold ETFs. It, if you wish to invest in gold, do so using your Zerodha trading and demat account. Find an illustration below that demonstrates how to add GOLD ETFs to your market watch, and keep in mind that in order to buy GOLD ETFs as an investment, you must have a demat account linked to your trading account, allowing you to trade with the CNC product type. Use the MIS product type if you want to undertake intraday trading, but you’ll have to square it off before the end of the day.
This Dhanteras, as a tiny Diwali gift, all of our clients will be able to trade Gold ETFs with zero brokerage (November 11, 2012).

Another product that has recently gained popularity, similar to Gold ETFs, is E-Gold. To acquire E-Gold, your broker must be a member of the National Spot Exchange (Zerodha is currently not), and the advantage of E-Gold over Gold ETF is that if you want to take physical delivery of gold, you can do so for as little as 8 gm in E-Gold, whereas Gold ETFs require 1 kg or more. Another distinction is that Gold ETFs can be traded until 3:30 p.m. (NSE), whereas E-Gold can be traded until commodity markets close. GOLD ETFs can be used as collateral for NSE F&O trading, but not E-Gold. It shouldn’t matter if the product is a Gold ETF or an E-Gold if you’re searching for an investment.
*Now that this product has run into difficulty due to the failure of NSEL, you may learn more about the NSEL tragedy.
Wishing you all a plethora of gold, a joyous Diwali, and a prosperous year ahead.
Is the CPSE ETF tax-exempt?
Investment in CPSE will get tax benefits similar to those offered by the Equity Linked Savings Scheme, according to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s recent budget presentation (ELSS).
Investments in ELSS are currently eligible for tax deductions up to 1.5 lakh under Section 80(C) of the Income Tax Act. Although, a proper plan and details on tax slabs for ETF investments are still pending.
In Zerodha, what is a haircut?
Many users have stocks and ETFs in their portfolios, but their cash margins are tight, causing them to miss out on trade possibilities. In such cases, customers can pledge their stocks/ETFs for collateral margins, which you would receive after a haircut of a percentage.
The collateral margin acquired from pledging can be utilized to trade equity intraday, futures, and options writing. At the end of each trading day, the collateral margin will be updated for price differences in the securities, which can be verified on Console under Portfolio> Holdings.
The collateral amount will be determined using the stocks’ previous closing price after haircut and added to the total margin available on Kite. The collateral margin received is displayed separately under the collateral heading in Kite’s Funds page.
For overnight F&O positions, exchanges require that 50% of the margin be in cash or cash equivalent collateral, with the remaining 50% in non-cash collateral margin.
There will be a delayed payment charge of 0.035 percent per day or 12.5 percent p.a. on the shortfall in the cash margin requirement if you don’t have enough cash margin and the shortfall is financed by non-cash collateral. More information about late payment (interest) fees can be found here.
So, regardless of how much collateral margin you have, if you take positions that require a margin of Rs 1 lakh, you’ll need at least Rs 50,000 in cash. If you don’t have this Rs 50,000, whatever you owe will be your debit balance for the day, and you’ll be charged late payment (interest) fees on that amount.
The list of shares that can be pledged together with the Haircut percent can be seen here. In accordance with our RMS policy, the collateral margin may fluctuate from time to time.
