WisdomTree’s India Hedged Equity Fund saw a modest increase on Friday, amid growing institutional backing and higher-than-average trading volume, highlighting investor confidence in India’s large-cap market without currency exposure.
WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Fund edged higher on Friday, with shares rising 0.4% to $39.79 after touching an intraday high of $39.81. Trading activity was notably heavier than usual, with 6,786 shares changing hands, well above the fund’s average daily volume of 1,292. The move left the exchange-traded fund with a market value of $5.97 million, a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.53 and a beta of 0.42, suggesting comparatively modest volatility.
The fund is designed to give investors exposure to large Indian companies while reducing the impact of swings between the Indian rupee and the US dollar. According to WisdomTree’s fund factsheet, INDH tracks a market-cap weighted index of the 75 largest companies in India and, as of March 31, 2026, held 76 securities. Its largest sector weights were financials, energy and consumer discretionary, with Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank among the main holdings. WisdomTree says the fund’s net expense ratio stood at 0.64% at that date.
WisdomTree launched the fund on May 9, 2024, saying the strategy was intended to provide broader access to India’s equity market without leaving investors fully exposed to currency risk. The firm said at the time that the product was built to track the price and yield performance of its India Hedged Equity Index, which is rebalanced annually.
Recent regulatory filings also show some institutional interest in the ETF. DefenceWorld reported that Susquehanna International Group increased its stake in the fund by 14.1% in the third quarter, lifting its holdings to 26,595 shares. That position was valued at about $1.127 million and represented roughly 17.73% of the fund’s shares at the end of the quarter.
