EPI

EPI offers a well-established alternative exposure to Indian equities—focusing on companies with strong earnings. Rather than using a market-cap-weighted approach, EPI picks stocks based on earnings in the prior fiscal year, adjusted for the availability of Indian stocks to foreign ownership. The resulting portfolio typically has a strong value tilt, which is unsurprising, given its fundamental methodology. It also produces considerable sector biases relative to the market. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted on an annual basis.
