The NSE International Exchange (NSEIX), NSE’s global investment platform, has announced the expansion of its global investment offerings into seven key European markets through its GIFT City-based entity. The expansion increases Indian investors’ access to European-listed securities and Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
NSEIX Global Access IFSC Limited (NSEIXGA), India’s first entity registered as a Global Access Provider under the regulatory framework of the International Financial Services Centres Authority, said in a statement that the expanded investment universe includes more than 11,500 securities, including over 8,200 UCITS ETFs across the European markets, including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
A key feature of the new offering is access to UCITS ETFs, which combine the benefits of exchange-traded investment products with an established European regulatory framework. These ETFs provide access to a wide range of global indices, markets, sectors, themes and asset classes, offering investors an alternative to investing in individual securities. UCITS ETFs also offer distinct tax advantages, further enhancing their appeal as an option for globally diversified investments.
With this addition, investors will have access to a broader range of international investment products beyond the platform’s existing offerings in the US market. The expansion aims to cater to growing investor interest in international markets by providing access to a wider range of investment opportunities through a single integrated account.
