Paths Open Up for Indians Eyeing US Stock Exposure
Indian investors now have three primary routes to gain exposure to US equities. The first is direct investment by opening an international brokerage account with platforms like Interactive Brokers or Vested under RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme, which permits up to $250,000 per financial year. The second is through domestic mutual funds categorized as Fund of Funds or index funds that invest in US markets such as the S&P 500 or NASDAQ. The third option is US-focused Exchange-Traded Funds offered by SEBI-regulated issuers. Each path differs in taxation, forex charges, and compliance requirements.
