Why invest internationally?
International Markets offer diversification and exposure to global markets, subject to market, currency, and regulatory risk.
Currency Hedging
International investments can offer a natural currency hedge, as returns are influenced by movements in foreign currencies like the US Dollar relative to the rupee. This exposure can work for or against returns depending on currency movement, and does not eliminate rupee depreciation risk on your overall portfolio.
Access Global Companies
Invest in a broad universe of international companies across technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors, offering exposure beyond domestic market opportunities. This allows your portfolio to participate in industries and business models that may be underrepresented in domestic markets.
Geographic Diversification
Spreading capital across geographies can reduce concentration risk tied to any single country's economic or political environment, as part of a broader diversification strategy. This approach helps balance your portfolio's exposure across different economic cycles and regulatory environments.
The LRS Framework.
Under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), a resident Indian individual can invest up to $250,000 in a financial year in global markets.

Who Should Invest in Global Funds?
Future Education
Investors planning to fund children's higher education abroad, aiming to build a corpus aligned with the destination currency. This approach may help reduce the impact of currency fluctuations when the funds are eventually needed overseas.
Market Hedgers
Investors seeking to diversify away from concentrated domestic market exposure, as part of a broader risk-management approach. This can help reduce the impact of country-specific slowdowns or sector concentration on overall portfolio performance.
Global Sector Investors
Investors looking to gain exposure to industries and business models, such as global technology, semiconductors, or innovation-led sectors — that are underrepresented in domestic markets. This allows portfolios to participate in sector trends not easily accessible through Indian equities alone.
Market Reality & Compliance
International investments under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) are subject to overseas market risk, currency fluctuation risk, and regulatory changes in the destination country. The value of your investment can go down as well as up, and currency depreciation can negatively impact INR-denominated returns. Investment Ideas facilitates execution; all final investment decisions are made at your own discretion.
