Nippon India Japan Equity Fund
NAV Growth: Rs 14.4026
NAV IDCW: Rs 14.4026
NAV Bonus: Rs 14.4026
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 fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation to investors by primarily investing in equity and equity related securities of companies listed on the recognized stock exchanges of Japan and the secondary objective is to generate consistent returns by investing in debt and money market securities of India.
