Mutual Fund SIP News: In the last one year, many foreign markets have given much better returns in the Indian stock markets, after which international investments have once again come into discussion. Markets like the US, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are witnessing a sharp rise, which has led to an increase in returns from many international mutual funds available to Indian investors.
However, there remains an imbalance in investor access. Some international schemes are allowing both large sum and SIP investments, while many other schemes are restricting new large sum investments and allowing investors to invest only through SIP. The result is an abnormal situation. Some of the best performing international funds of last year are not completely open for investment.
Why are investors investing abroad?
According to the information received, there has been a huge difference in the performance of Indian and global markets in the last one year. The difference is clear, while Indian market indices gave negative results, many foreign markets also made strong double digit gains. Technology-intensive markets particularly led the rise, with the Nasdaq rising nearly 39 percent and Taiwan’s market index more than doubling. Many international mutual funds available to Indian investors have also benefited from this strong performance of global markets.

Many international funds are investing through SIP
While fully open ended funds have delivered impressive returns, there are even better performing funds in the SIP-only category. Interestingly, among all the schemes surveyed, the highest one-year return was from Edelweiss Emerging Markets Opportunities Equity Offshore Fund, which gave a return of 83.18 percent. China-focused, emerging markets and US technology funds also feature prominently among the top performers. This means that investors who prefer to invest larger sums will not be able to get direct access to some international investments through these schemes.
What do the data reveal?
Three major trends emerge from the data…
- First, technology continues to dominate global returns. Nasdaq affiliates occupy many of the top positions among fully open funds, reflecting the strength of US technology stocks.
- Second, emerging markets have made a strong comeback. Funds focused on emerging markets and China have delivered returns equal to, and in some cases even higher than, those focused on the US.
- Third, access is still limited. Many high-yield international schemes prohibit large amounts of investment, creating a gap between opportunities and investors’ ability to quickly deploy capital.
