Equity: International

What is it?

International funds invest in stocks that are listed outside of India. They help investors diversify their investments globally.

Objective

The objective of international mutual funds is to generate maximum returns by investing in companies listed outside of India.

Suitability and opinion

International mutual funds are best suited for investors with a high appetite for risk. We believe that these funds can be a good option for investors seeking international equity exposure and who want to benefit from growing foreign economies. To get the most out of these you should invest with a time horizon of at least 5 years. You should always check the holdings of funds and invest in those that invest across multiple countries. This will help you in increasing geographical diversification. The recent changes in taxation laws have impacted this category negatively.
