EGShares introduces another tool that seeks to access the Emerging Market Consumer, the India Consumer ETF.

The EGShares India Consumer exchange-traded fund (ETF) adds to our set of tools that seek to provide access to the emerging market consumer investment theme. Other offerings include: EM Consumer (ECON), EM Consumer Services (VGEM), and EM Consumer Goods (GGEM).

The EGShares India Consumer ETF (INCO), the first India Consumer ETF, seeks investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of the Indxx India Consumer Index, a 30 stock free float market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the market performance of companies in the consumer sector of India. The index consists of common stocks that are listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange.

Read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Emerging market investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, from economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume. This fund will concentrate its investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that its Underlying Index is so concentrated and to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory guidance. Concentration risk results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry.

Because the Fund only invests in Indian securities, its NAV will be much more sensitive to changes in economic, political and other factors within India than would a fund that invested in a greater variety of countries. Special risks include, among others, political and legal uncertainty, persistent religious, ethnic and border disputes, greater government control over the economy, currency fluctuations or blockage and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets.
