What it is
Global investments
Global investments give investors exposure to assets and markets outside India through permitted structures and routes. They may include global shares, bonds, funds, exchange-traded products, or other investments available in international markets. The appropriate route depends on the investor’s residency, the destination market, and the rules governing the transaction.
International holdings introduce considerations beyond investment selection. Currency movement, local market conditions, custody arrangements, tax reporting, remittance limits, and regulatory requirements can affect the experience and outcome. Products also differ in dealing cycles, charges, and documentation. Before investing, the structure should be understood alongside the investor’s wider financial arrangements and applicable requirements.
Why consider global investments?
Diversification
Add exposure to markets, currencies and economic cycles beyond your domestic market.
Global market access
Reach sectors and companies that may be underrepresented in any domestic market.
Different return drivers
Exposure to return drivers that may behave differently from domestic assets.
