- – Access to global markets
- – Tax benefits and exemptions
- – Regulatory framework conducive to foreign investments
- – Efficient mechanisms for dispute resolution
- – Availability of top-notch infrastructure
However, the individual investments are subject to the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) limit of USD 250,000 per annum per investor.
Investing in international markets can offer Indian investors:
- Diversification opportunities
- Access to a broader spectrum of industries and companies
- Potential for enhanced returns
- Exposure to various currencies and economic cycles
It can assist investors in:
- Hedging against domestic economic and political uncertainties
- Potentially mitigating overall portfolio risk through augmented global exposure
Some of the most favourable and cost-effective international markets for Indian investors include the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. These countries offer attractive business opportunities, stable political environments, and strong legal systems that can benefit Indian investors looking to expand their presence globally. Additionally, these markets have relatively low barriers to entry and are known for their business-friendly regulations.
