Indian investors today have more global investing options than ever before.
Direct investing platforms like Vested have already made it simple to buy international stocks and ETFs directly, letting you own shares of companies like Apple, Microsoft, or Netflix with just a few clicks.
But direct investing isn’t the only way to go global.
Many investors also use feeder funds, that is, Indian mutual funds that invest into international funds. However, these funds face a structural limitation: SEBI caps the total overseas exposure of all Indian mutual funds combined at USD 7 billion. When that industry-wide limit is hit, fund houses are forced to stop accepting new inflows until capacity opens up again.
That’s where GIFT City funds like the DSP Global Equity Fund open up an additional option for global investing.
