How to Choose Between Smart Beta ETFs and Passive ETFs?
26 December 2025 | 11 mins read
ETFs trade on stock exchanges just like shares. They bundle a collection of securities into a single instrument that you can buy or sell through your broker. ETF adoption has increased rapidly in recent years, with total assets under management in the ETF segment rising markedly as retail and institutional interest grows. As of mid-2025, ETF AUM was reported at around ₹8.5 lakh crore, up substantially from earlier years. This growth reflects both broader mutual fund expansion and targeted investments by large institutions.
What Is an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)?
26 December 2025 | 13 mins read
Many companies across the world, including multinational organisations with a large presence in India, provide employee stock purchase plans to support long-term wealth creation for their workforce. These plans have been around for decades, but interest has grown in recent years because employees want more ways to build financial stability. As salaries rise gradually and market-linked earnings gain popularity, you may want to explore additional ways to grow your money. An ESPP is one such option that gives you the chance to buy company shares at a price lower than the current market rate. Employee stock purchase plans are usually offered by listed companies or subsidiaries of listed global parent companies. Indian employees who work for multinational firms often get access to these plans because the parent company manages the programme at a global scale. These plans not only encourage you to feel more invested in the company’s performance but also offer an opportunity to build financial value in a structured and disciplined manner.

How does the stock market or share market work?
The stock market works as a platform where investors can buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. Companies list their shares on stock exchanges through an initial public offering (IPO) to raise capital. Once listed, shares are traded among investors. Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, company performance, and broader economic factors. Investors use brokerage accounts to execute trades, and transactions are facilitated by stock exchanges like the BSE and NSE. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) ensures transparency, investor protection, and regulatory compliance.

Which type of investments are best for beginners?
For beginners, it is advisable to start with safer and less volatile investments. Blue-chip stocks, which are shares of well-established and financially sound companies, are a good option. Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer diversification and are managed by professional fund managers. Fixed deposits and government bonds are also safe options with guaranteed returns. It’s important for beginners to diversify their portfolio to spread risk and consult with a financial advisor to create an investment strategy that aligns with their financial goals.
