Global Investments

    Diversify beyond borders. Invest in global giants like Apple, Google, and Tesla. Utilize the LRS route to build a dollar-denominated portfolio.

    Why Go Global?

    Geographic Diversification

    Indian markets constitute only ~3% of global market cap. Investing globally reduces "Home Country Bias" and protects against domestic volatility.

    Currency Hedge

    Historically, the INR has depreciated against the USD. Investing in US assets gives you the dual benefit of asset appreciation + currency gain.

    Ways to Invest

    1

    Feeder Mutual Funds

    Indian Mutual Funds that invest in international stocks/ETFs. Easiest route, no separate bank account needed.

    2

    Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS)

    RBI allows resident individuals to remit up to $250,000 per financial year for investments abroad. We help set up your US brokerage account.

    Taxation on Global Investments

    TCS on Remittance

    Under LRS, Tax Collected at Source (TCS) of 20% applies on remittances above ₹7 Lakhs in a financial year. This TCS can be claimed as a refund or credit when filing your Income Tax Return.

    Capital Gains Tax

    Gains from foreign stocks are treated as per your income tax slab (Short Term < 24 months) or taxed at 12.5% without indexation (Long Term > 24 months) as per recent budget updates.
