Limited International Mutual Funds Open for Investment; Domestic Funds Offer Overseas Exposure
Currently, only four international mutual fund schemes—Baroda BNP Paribas Aqua FoF and three HSBC Mutual Fund schemes—are open for fresh investments, with HSBC imposing a monthly investment cap. These funds offer exposure to diverse global markets amid Indian equities' recent underperformance. Alternatively, several India-focused mutual funds provide international equity exposure within their portfolios, with overseas allocations ranging up to 27 percent. These domestic funds have shown strong long-term returns, though investors are advised to consider overall fund performance beyond just international exposure.
