The Simplify Tara India Opportunities ETF, which focuses on Indian stocks with a domestic tilt, has underperformed emerging markets and global markets since it made its debut last year. IOPP benefits from on-the-ground research from a 70-member Indian-based team. IOPP's goal is to outperform the MSCI India Index, which is, of course, covered by the INDA ETF.
While money appears to be flowing into Emerging Market (EM) Equity ETFs from non-ETFs, India-focused offerings have captured a sizable share of the flows into those ETFs. The Simplify Tara India Opportunities ETF (IOPP) is an ideal way to access potentially attractive returns. IOPP is sub-advised by System Two Advisors. System Two's principals, who co-founded the firm 12 years ago, have - along with their 65 colleagues in four offices throughout India - decades of experience in India's markets.
