International funds allow you to invest in companies and markets outside India. They can hold stocks from other countries, Indian stocks or bonds, and short-term investments for liquidity. This provides benefits like diversification, which reduces risk by spreading investments across global markets, access to global leaders, and new opportunities in markets not available in India.
However, there are risks involved, such as unfamiliar politics and economies, currency fluctuations that can affect returns, and changes in foreign investment policies. On that note, we will walk you through the top international mutual funds with the highest SIP returns in 5 years. Let’s see how Rs 25,000 monthly investment in the no. 1 fund has converted to Rs 24.32 lakh in just 5 years.
