Synopsis: Indian investors can still allocate capital to international mutual funds, despite the industry reaching its overall overseas investment limit, as fund houses rotate fresh availability or allow ongoing SIPs.
In the international market, there have been strong trends in the fields of technology, China, and emerging markets. As a result, there has been high demand for international mutual funds due to their ability to offer international diversification and growth in the past year. While the investment limit abroad has hindered new investments in many mutual funds, some international mutual funds are still accepting SIP, STP, and selected lump sum investments in them.
