The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) equity ETF channel refers to the mechanism through which India’s largest provident fund – which manages the retirement savings of approximately 6.5 crore contributing members – allocates a portion of its incremental corpus to equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The EPFO’s entry into equity markets in 2015 created the largest single captive institutional demand for Indian equity ETFs, directly contributing to the passive investing wave and making the EPFO one of the most consequential investors in Indian capital markets.
