I am trying to compare FLIN and this newly launched IND ETF.
The reasoning for investing in Indian ETF is there is a possibility of me retiring in India in the distant future. I have read that you should have a tilt towards where you will be spending your investment return in the future. For example, VEQT / XEQT / ZEQT have a Canada bias.
While FLIN is well established with $2.85B in AUM, IND is brand new (only started in Nov 2025) with AUM of only $4.97M. Both have same MER 0.19%.
I am interested in IND because it seems to an Indian equivalent of SP500 / diversity of underlying stocks. However, the newness troubles me and seems like the buy sell spread on IND is also quite high. It is also from a company I have never heard of. The MER on INDA is much higher at 0.62%. And the Canadian XID MER is insane at 0.99%.
FLIN has about half the stock tickers present in IND. However, is IND actually better in the long run because it is potentially a more diverse investment?
Best ETF for India exposure from US / Canada

Are you an oci card holder? If you are, why not directly invest in Indian markets? This is something I have been thinking about doing as well but really need to look into the positives and negatives of doing so.
Edit: Guys, sorry, for some reason I thought the US based Indian ETFs only had 50 companies or less than that in holdings. Not sure why, glad this post made me look further into it.
