UTI Investments Partners with FTSE Russell to Transition its Sovereign Bond ETF Benchmark

December 17, 2025-UTI Investments announced that its Sovereign Bond ETF (Bloomberg Ticker: UIGB NA Equity) has transitioned its benchmark from Nifty India Government Fully Accessible Route (FAR) Select 7 Bonds Index (USD) to the FTSE Indian Government Bond FAR Index (Bloomberg Ticker: CFIIFARU).

The change is part of UTI Investments' collaboration with FTSE Russell, the global index provider, to enhance visibility and align with globally recognized benchmarks.

The ETF will continue to provide investors access to Indian government bonds, while now reflecting the performance of the FTSE Indian Government Bond FAR Index, a transparent, rules-based index widely followed by international investors. The FTSE index offers broader yield-curve exposure, covering short- to long-dated maturities, providing a more balanced and diversified portfolio profile, improving stability across interest-rate cycles, and reducing concentration risk while more accurately reflecting the Indian sovereign bond market.
