We might see ETFs in the CSE in the future once market expands further. There are some frontier market funds. They have included countries such as Bangladesh, Sri-Lanka, Vietnam including few African and East European countries in their frontier market funds.

S&P Indices & CSE launch S&P Sri Lanka 20 Index, possible prelude to ETFs

For Passive investing and Compounding, Index buying is very good. it always beat the individual amaetur person portfolio. Index is king so far except for value investor and Informed investor.

Yes. I agree with you.
