Should You Invest?

The Index consist of only PSU stocks and the performance of the PSU stocks in the last 5 years is not attractive neither does the future the way Govt. is eating out the reserves by a way of dividend or Buyback to meet their disinvestment target. The CPSE ETFs though we can say is available at an attractive valuation but it has more to do with the under performance of the fund. The CPSE ETFs is a good option for short ( Listing gain) to mid-term and but certainly not a long term bet the way PSUs stocks have underperformed.
