Can You Still Invest in Nasdaq Mutual Funds in 2026?
No, Fresh investments in the above-mentioned mutual funds on NASDAQ are currently not allowed since there is a limit related to the investments abroad, hence the suspension of SIPs, lump sum investment, STP, and switch-in. Nevertheless, already ongoing SIPs and STPs remain unchanged.
Bottom Line
NASDAQ Mutual Funds provide Indian investors access to top U.S. technology firms with good growth prospects for the future. But, at the same time, they are very volatile and heavily depend on global technological developments. Currently, investments into some schemes have also been restricted due to overseas investment limits.
