Foreign stocks are equity shares of companies that are incorporated and listed on stock exchanges outside India. Indian investors can access foreign stocks through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), which allows individuals to remit up to USD 2,50,000 per financial year for overseas investment. Several Indian mutual fund houses offer international funds and fund-of-funds (FoFs) that invest in foreign equities—covering US technology companies, global healthcare firms, and emerging market indices. Exposure to foreign stocks provides Indian investors with geographical diversification, access to global industry leaders, and a natural hedge against Rupee depreciation.
