Why invest internationally?
International investing can provide exposure to economies, companies, sectors and currencies outside the investor’s home market and may help diversify a portfolio.
What are the risks of international investing?
Risks can include market volatility, currency movements, political and economic changes, liquidity, taxation and regulatory differences.
Which international markets can Indian investors access?
The available markets and routes depend on the investor’s status, applicable Indian rules, the chosen platform or structure and the product.
Can I invest in global stocks?
Eligible investors may have routes to global equities, subject to applicable rules, product availability and account requirements.
Can international funds or ETFs be part of global investing?
They may be, depending on eligibility, availability and the investor’s objectives and risk profile.
How does currency affect international investments?
Changes in exchange rates can increase or reduce the value of an overseas investment when measured in the investor’s home currency.
What should I check before investing overseas?
Consider the market, investment objective, costs, currency, taxation, regulations, liquidity, risks and how the investment fits the overall portfolio.
Does international diversification guarantee lower risk?
