Wondering what the largest India ETFs are? With the evolution of stock markets, those interested in making some money out of it have a whole range of options they can choose to invest in. However, among various securities, a rather popular choice are the Exchange-traded funds (ETF). A good thing about the ETFs is that they combine the possibility to invest the money in a variety of companies, which is a feature of mutual or index funds, with the volatility and price oscillations of stocks, which makes it attractive for speculative investors.
