What is International Mutual Fund

International funds are equity funds that invest in stocks of companies listed outside of India. These funds help you invest in some of the biggest companies in the world.

Advantages of International Funds

  • Get exposure to global leaders like Facebook and Google
  • Good way to reduce portfolio risk as markets around the world rarely go down together
  • Suitable for goals which are at least 5 years away

How do International Mutual Funds work?

Investing in international mutual funds is the same as investing in any other equity mutual fund. The money is invested in rupees, and in return, units of the funds are allocated to investors. The fund manager takes the money and invests them in the stocks of companies that are listed on exchanges outside of India. Now, there are two ways in which the fund manager invests your money in foreign stocks.

  • By directly purchasing stocks and building your portfolio
  • Or, by investing in an existing global fund that already has a pre-designed portfolio consisting of stocks of foreign companies.

However, whichever way they pick, they are administered by Indian mutual fund companies. Like all other mutual funds, they are regulated by the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Who Should Invest in International Funds?

  • Equity Investors with a Well Diversified Domestic Portfolio: It is advisable that amateur investors, who are fairly new to mutual fund investments, should not straight away jump into international funds. They are great for investors who already have a well-diversified portfolio of Indian companies. Such investors can further diversify their portfolio and have a chance to fetch good returns, by investing in international funds.
  • Looking to Invest in Global Market Leaders: There are some global brands that are absolute favorites like Netflix, OnePlus, Apple, Facebook, Vivo, etc. which makes them the market leaders. The only catch is that these market leaders are not listed on Indian stock exchanges. So, if you want to be owners of the brands that you really like, you can do so by investing in international funds. You'll also have a share in the profits these companies make.
  • Looking to Leverage Opportunities in Different Markets: Different markets perform differently at a given period of time. There have been instances when Indian markets were doing just fine, and on the other hand, the US markets were performing exceptionally well. For instance, in 2016, when the BSE Sensex was up by just 3.91%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (US stock market index) was up by 15.24%. So, by investing in international funds, investors can capitalize on other markets when the domestic markets are giving decent returns or even when they are struggling.
  • Investors with a Long Term Horizon: If you're an investor looking to mobilize a huge corpus for fulfilling your long-term goals like retirement, child's education, etc. international funds can help you get there. A long-term investment horizon protects you from the volatility of equity markets. It also enables you to reap the benefits of compounding. To avail of the benefits offered by international funds, you should have an investment horizon of at least 5 years.

Taxation on International Mutual Fund

Although international mutual funds have equity investments as their underlying asset, there's a bit of an anomaly in how they are taxed. It is logical to assume that they'll be taxed how all other equity mutual funds are taxed in India. But, this is not the case. Returns from international funds are taxed the way debt funds are taxed. When you make a profit by selling your investment, you make a capital gain. Under the debt taxation structure, the capital gains made by selling your investment are taxed on the basis of how long you held your investment. The same goes for international funds:

  • Short Term Capital Gain (STCG): If you redeem your international fund investment within three years, then it is termed as Short Term Capital Gains. These gains or profits are added to your income and are taxed according to the tax bracket you fall in.
  • Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG): And, if you invest for three or more than three years, then your returns are classified as Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG). Such gains are taxed at the rate of 20% percent after indexation

How to invest in International Funds?

It is quite easy to invest in International mutual funds on ET Money. Here are the steps that you have to follow.

  • Register online on ET Money app or website
  • Head to Mutual Funds sections and choose the International fund you want to invest in.
  • Click on invest and choose the amount and mode of investment (SIP or Lumpsum)
  • Provide your KYC details (Pan number, Bank details) and complete your investment.

Since International Mutual Funds are equity funds i.e. they invest in stocks of companies, you need to stay invested for at least 5 years.

International Mutual Funds invest in the stocks listed outside of India. There are funds that invest in specific country or region. Then there are funds that invest across the globe. There are also funds that decide a theme and go pick stocks that fit into this theme from different markets.

International Mutual Funds invest in equities, so in a short term, they can be volatile. However, over a long-term, the risk comes down substantially.

International Funds have on an average delivered -11.48% p.a. returns in the last 1 year. Their 3 and 5 year annualized returns are 9.15% and 9.35%. p.a.

International Funds allow you to become owners of some of the biggest companies in the world like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Apart from benefiting from the growth of these global giants, you also reduce your portfolio risk as your returns are no longer dependent on the performance of one market. Additionally, you can benefit from the currency fluctuations. For all these reasons, having some exposure to International Mutual Funds is a smart idea.
