Three reasons Indian portfolios need the world.
The rupee has a direction.
In five years, one dollar went from ₹75 to ₹97. Assets held in dollars gained that difference. Assets held only in rupees did not.
India’s share of the world’s market.
Most Indian investors hold close to 100% of their wealth in India: a concentrated bet on one economy and one currency.
Your future costs dollars.
A US education, a home abroad, healthcare, travel, children who settle overseas. If your goals are priced in dollars, part of your wealth should be too.
One fee. Nothing else.
2% a year, falling in steps to 1% above $1 million. Minimum investment $10,000.
