How to Choose an International Fund?
2
Introduction

• As an investor, you must be aware of the benefits
  of international investments and the value that
  they can add to your portfolio. In addition to
  diversification and portfolio risk mitigation,
  they also give you an opportunity to enhance the
  risk-adjusted returns of your portfolio. While
  there are a couple of ways by which you can
  invest internationally, the easiest is probably
  through international mutual funds. Several big
  Asset Management Companies (AMCs) have an
  international mutual fund offering. They invest
  in different markets and themes and follow
  different approaches to investing

Factors to Choose an International Fund

• Opportunity You can choose to invest in schemes
  that focus on other leading markets like Europe,
  Brazil, and China or even those that invest in
  commodities like gold.
• Active or Passive Actively managed funds are
  those in which the fund manager tries to buy and
  sell stocks in an attempt to generate better
  returns than the benchmark index. Passively
  managed funds are those in which the fund manager
  buys the same securities as those in the
  benchmark index and tries to replicate the
  benchmark returns.
• Diversification Inarguably, one of the main
  benefits of investing in international mutual
  funds is an opportunity to improve portfolio
  returns through exposure to investment themes
  that are not available in the domestic market. A
  well-diversified portfolio can help improve a
  portfolios risk-adjusted returns.
