Suitable For Which Investors?
This is a fund that invests mainly in shares of foreign companies. When you invest for five years or more, you can expect gains that beat the inflation rate as well as returns from fixed income options. But be prepared for ups and downs in your investment value along the way.
International equity funds are suitable to invest a part of your money in for diversification, so that if the Indian markets are going through a sharp correction, a portion of your money is insulated. But make sure you invest in a fund that has a broad mandate of investing in companies of different sizes, sectors and countries.
Like for all equity funds, you must invest only through the SIP route.
Fund’s Investment Strategy:
The scheme aims to provide medium to long term capital appreciation through investment in Asian companies/sectors, excluding Japan.
