please add this on dhan …would be really helpful.
thank you
All the institutions trading earlier in singapore now came to India. However am not sure how this will help to improve our investing experience. Money comes in and goes out in foreign currency only.
@Archgecko yes we are in the process of getting the data-feed directly from NSEIX.
@t7support Yea FII mainly use GIFT Nifty to hedge. Earlier in SGX there was only SGX Nifty. However in NSEIX, they will get exposure to a number of derivative contracts. Usually FIIs dont trade in SGX, they mainly hedge their risk. So having a wide basket of F&O contracts available to hedge will increase their interest in sector-specific investment.
For instance as an FII I would love to invest in the IT industry of India. But initially I just had an option to hedge my investments only against NIFTY which would not give me an exact correlation. With GIFT NIFTYIT, this problem would be solved. I can easily achieve my correlation factor.
Personally I think this will not affect the index as a whole if any sector/industry faces any troughs of a business cycle.
