WHY INVEST IN INTERNATIONAL FUNDS

For geographic diversification, so that one’s portfolio performance is not entirely dependent on the Indian market

Investing in markets with low correlation will reduce overall portfolio volatility

Exposure to sectors and themes not available in India

Hedge against rupee’s tendency to depreciate against hard currencies like the US dollar

To make it easier to meet financial goals denominated in foreign currencies, like a child’s higher education in a foreign university, or a world tour
