US based mutual funds in India

Indian investors can research India-domiciled schemes with overseas exposure, but a US-focused fund is not automatically a broad global portfolio.

Get the quick answer

Indian investors can research India-domiciled schemes with overseas exposure, but a US-focused fund is not automatically a broad global portfolio. Check the benchmark, countries, sectors, currency exposure, costs and current subscription notice. Availability and tax treatment can differ between domestic equity funds, overseas funds and directly held foreign securities.

Mutual fund status online

To check a SIP or mutual fund transaction, sign in through the official AMC, appointed RTA or investment platform used for the order.

Get the quick answer

To check a SIP or mutual fund transaction, sign in through the official AMC, appointed RTA or investment platform used for the order. Check SIP registration, bank mandate, payment and unit allotment separately. A successful bank debit alone is not the same as confirmed allotment, and a public NAV tool cannot show your private order status.

Top 10 SIP investment

The best SIP is not a separate company or a fixed-interest product.

Get the quick answer

The best SIP is not a separate company or a fixed-interest product. A SIP is a recurring purchase instruction into a mutual fund. Choose the scheme for your goal and risk capacity, then choose an affordable contribution schedule. Compare like-for-like funds and avoid selecting a SIP only because it recently reported the highest return.

Highest return SIP

Highest historical return depends on the category, plan, option, end date and period being ranked.

Get the quick answer

Highest historical return depends on the category, plan, option, end date and period being ranked. A ten-year CAGR is different from a ten-year SIP XIRR. Use a dated, like-for-like comparison and inspect downside risk before interpreting a leader. No published historical rank determines which fund will deliver the highest future return.
