If you want to buy shares like Tesla and Apple from India, invest here; these 5 methods, including ETFs and FoFs, will work...

In today's digital age, the world of investing has transcended borders. Investing in foreign markets was once considered complex and expensive, but now it's possible to invest in global companies and economies from the comfort of India. Global giants like Apple, Amazon, and Tesla attract global investors. International investment not only diversifies portfolios but also benefits from the economic progress of different countries. Let's explore five key ways to invest abroad from India.

Direct Investment in International Stocks
Today, many Indian brokerage platforms offer access to foreign stock markets. This allows you to directly purchase shares of a foreign company. For example, if you believe in the technology sector, you can invest in global tech companies.

Direct stock investing gives you direct exposure to a company's performance, but it also carries risks, as foreign markets can be highly volatile. Currency fluctuations also impact returns.

Investing Through International ETFs
An ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is a fund that tracks a specific index or sector. International ETFs allow you to invest in multiple foreign companies simultaneously.

This method is ideal for investors seeking diversification at a low cost. ETFs are bought and sold on the stock exchange like shares, so they offer good liquidity. This method is an easy way to spread risk.

International Mutual Funds
Indian asset management companies run mutual funds that invest in foreign stock markets. These funds allow investors to participate in the global market without directly opening a foreign account. Professional fund managers manage investments in mutual funds, eliminating the burden of research. This is a convenient and systematic method for long-term investors.

Investing Through a Fund of Funds (FoF)
A fund of funds is a scheme that invests in international funds rather than directly in stocks. This means that your money is invested in a foreign fund through an Indian fund. This approach is good for investors who want global diversification but want to avoid the complexities of direct foreign markets. However, it may cost a little more because of the two-tier management fees.

Global-themed ETFs or Funds
If you want to invest in a specific sector or theme—such as technology, healthcare, or green energy—global-themed ETFs or mutual funds may be a good option.

For example, many companies globally are working in emerging sectors like clean energy or artificial intelligence. Thematic investing allows you to bet on prospects, but it also carries higher risk because it focuses on a single sector.
