About
GLIN provides a unique exposure to Indian equities by focusing on growth companies. The eligible universe includes all companies listed and domiciled in India. The index provider calculates a daily average weighted score for each company based on four fundamental factors: growth, value, profitability and cash flow as derived from public filings. The top 80 fundamentally scored companies are selected for the index and weighted by market-cap. Similar to most ETFs providing Indian equity exposure, the fund invests via a subsidiary located in the Republic of Mauritius for fund tax purposes. Note: Prior to May 1, 2020, the fund was called VanEck India Small-Cap Index ETF, used the ticker SCIF, and tracked the MVIS India Small-Cap Index.
