Global Investing for Indian citizens

Most portfolios are well-diversified within India—but not globally. Why global diversification? • India is ~4% of global equity market cap and ~3–4% of global GDP. A 100% India equity portfolio concentrates you in a small slice of global opportunities. • Several world-leading themes (global tech platforms, semiconductors, healthcare innovation, premium consumer brands) sit largely outside Indian indices. • Global exposure can reduce single-country risk and adds currency diversification.

Reality check: Because overseas investment limits were approached, many international mutual fund/ETF routes have seen fresh inflows restricted/paused at different times. In that context, GIFT City (IFSC) has opened an additional route for resident Indian investors to access global markets (typically via the LRS framework).

Disclaimer: Global/overseas investments are subject to market risk, currency risk, and regulatory/limit changes. Please evaluate suitability and read all scheme/product related documents carefully before investing.
