HSBC Reopens Global Funds Amid Regulatory Caps; Wealthy Indians Shift to Real Asset Alternatives
HSBC Mutual Fund has reopened investments in three international funds with a monthly cap of Rs 2 lakh, following a pause due to regulatory limits on foreign investments by Indian mutual funds. This reopening coincides with the closure of fresh subscriptions in Baroda BNP Paribas Aqua Fund. Separately, wealthy Indian investors are shifting from direct property ownership to income-generating real assets like REITs, InvITs, private equity, and alternative funds, reflecting a diversification trend in family office portfolios.
