Follow Ethics in your Investments

Hello All,
Still I am exploring the oppurtunities/options of Investing in ETFs a kind of Index fund. You can invest in ETFs in the same way you are buying stocks. When you are investing in normal MFs with any AMCs you need to fill number of forms with bank details and need to sbumit to AMCs before starting your investments. ETFs don't need such paper works and it is simple to start your investments if you have a Demant Account. I added 3 ETFs to my kitty so far (2 in yr 2009 and another 1 in 2010). If you need more details about the ETFs listed in NSE visit this ETF Bronchure [
http://www.nseindia.com/content/products/ETF_brochure.pdf]. I bumbed into another interesting ShariaBEES. I was thinking for a better title for this post and bumped into an apt title "Follow Ethics in your Investments". The reason why I gave this title is because of ShariaBEES which invests in S&P CNX Shariah Index- which considers only companies which don't sell liquor, tobacco. More over it is going to start investing in greener companies which are shifting their focus on environment. You can browse more on the web about the constituents of Shariah Index and ShariaBEES protfolio. Now I am planning to add this ETF to my kitty which I believe is a step of adding more diversification in my portfolio. Hope I meet you all with more interesting findings next time. Happy Investing and Learning!
Thanks!

New Year 2010 Investments

Hi All,
First of all Wish you all Happy and Prosperous New Year 2010. I believe "Life as a whole includes process of learning". May all of us learn exciting things about Market and let this year be prosperous for all of us to book more profits in volatile market. Sticking to my long term perspective and my belief that index constituents definitely will perform well this year, I strated investing from very first day of trading on Nifty BeEs and Gold BeEs. Now my interest are shifted fully to ETFs which is much more different than the Index funds. If you want to know more about ETFs visit
