💡 Important Insight
Interestingly, the ETF most people trade is not always the one with the biggest AUM.
- SBI ETFs → Massive AUM (institution-driven)
- NIFTYBEES → Most popular among retail investors
That’s why you’ll often see NIFTYBEES having higher daily volumes even if it’s not the largest.
🧠 What This Means for You
If you’re choosing based on size alone:
- Bigger AUM =
- More stability
- Lower tracking error (usually)
- Institutional confidence
But in real-world investing, you should also look at:
- Liquidity (very important for ETFs)
- Expense ratio
- Tracking error
⚖️ Simple Takeaway
- Largest ETF in India → SBI Nifty 50 ETF
- Most popular retail ETF → Nippon NIFTYBEES
