UTI Mutual Fund announces change in symbols of ETFs across NSE and BSE

UTI Asset Management Company (UTI AMC) has announced a change in symbols for its Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), with the revised symbols effective from December 24, 2025.

The new symbol is a combination of the index in which the scheme is investing, with BETA as a suffix, across both NSE and BSE. For example, the UTI Nifty 50 ETF, which earlier had the symbol ‘UTINIFTY’, will now be ‘NIFTYBETA’. The revised nomenclature is aimed at improving visibility, promoting uniformity, and enabling easier identification of ETF schemes by investors and market participants, according to a press release by the fund house.

Commenting on the development, Sharwan Goyal, Head – Passives, Quant and Arbitrage at UTI AMC, said, “The change of ETF symbols is a step towards simplifying identification and improving clarity for investors and market participants. A uniform naming convention helps create consistency across platforms and makes it easier to recognise the underlying index or asset class associated with each ETF product.”

The revised symbols will apply to select equity, debt, and commodity ETFs offered by UTI AMC and listed on the NSE and BSE. The changes are limited to the symbols only.

UTI AMC clarified that the revision in ETF symbols does not entail any change in the investment objective, underlying portfolio, methodology, or fundamental characteristics of the respective ETF schemes. Existing investors are not required to take any action as a result of this change, the release said.

A detailed list of the ETFs along with their existing and revised symbols is provided in the annexure.

There are 11 funds, of which equity- and debt-based funds are suitable for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and exposure to securities covered by their respective underlying benchmarks.

The commodity-based ETFs are suitable for investors seeking returns in line with the performance of physical silver or gold over the long term, subject to tracking errors, and who want investment predominantly in physical silver or gold and silver- or gold-related instruments.
