If you’re looking for a way to double your investment in just one year, some international mutual funds in India have shown remarkable performance.
Some funds have provided returns of up to 97%, meaning your money could have almost doubled in value.
Here’s a look at the top 5 international mutual funds that have delivered the highest returns.
Global Market Trends
Global equity markets have been highly volatile over the past six months.
Factors like trade policy changes under Trump 2.0 in the US, geopolitical tensions, and the withdrawal of capital by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) from the Indian market have all impacted domestic markets.
This volatility has led to losses in several mutual fund categories in the last three to six months.
However, when we look at the returns from the last year, categories like large-cap, small-cap, flexi-cap, and ELSS have struggled to deliver even double-digit returns.
International Mutual Funds Outperform
Despite challenges in the domestic market, international mutual funds have performed exceptionally well.
The average return from 67 global funds over the past year was approximately 14%. Only mid-cap and multi-cap funds performed better in terms of double-digit returns.
This impressive performance of international mutual funds might motivate Indian investors to consider diversifying into global markets, especially with domestic markets underperforming.
Why Choose International Mutual Funds?
International mutual funds offer Indian investors an opportunity to invest in global markets.
They allow exposure to major American tech companies, European blue-chip stocks, and growing markets in Asia.
By investing in these funds, investors can take advantage of opportunities in the global economy that may not be available in the Indian market.
