FAQ :
You can invest in global companies either by directly buying shares on foreign stock exchanges or by investing in international mutual funds that hold such stocks.
International mutual funds are investment funds that invest in companies located outside the investor's country of residence. They might invest in specific foreign stocks or in global market indices like the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500.
International funds offer portfolio diversification, allow indirect investment in top global companies, provide exposure to different economic cycles, and can offer profits from currency appreciation against the Indian Rupee.
For beginners, it's preferable to invest in international funds that track foreign stock market indices, such as the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500, rather than actively managed international funds.
International funds are taxed like debt funds. Short-term capital gains (held less than three years) are taxed at your income slab rate, while long-term capital gains (held over three years) are taxed at 20% with indexation benefits.
