Investment platform Groww launches Intraday Trading and ETFs

Bangalore, Oct 9, 2020 - India’s fastest-growing investment platform - Groww has launched Intraday Trading and ETFs , expanding their product suite. With the launch of these products that cater to two diverse niches within the investing spectrum, Groww aims to provide a gamut of investment options to millennial investors with varied investment objectives.

With intraday trading now enabled on 350 + stocks and select ETFs on Groww, investors can short sell, place a stop-loss order, and track price movements through candlestick charts, within just a few clicks.

On the other hand, ETFs as an asset class can be explored by users who are inclined towards passive investment instruments. With Groww, investors can check all information related to ETFs such as expense ratio, fund manager details, scheme objectives as well as track the live price of the underlying securities on-the-go.

Moreover, since March, mobile trades have more than tripled in September, according to BSE’s trading data.
