ABSL Index Linked Fund (IFSC)

Fund Snapshot

Benefits of investing in global equities

Global Diversification

Incorporating global equities can enhance risk-adjusted returns, especially during weak periods in the local market

Access to US Dollar savings

Utilizing annual LRS limits consistently ensures future financial requirements in US dollars are met (e.g., education, home requirements, inheritance, etc.).

Invest in companies not available in India

Capitalize on trends such as AI, PC, Mobile, Data Center, IoT, Cloud and high-performance computing by investing in companies unavailable in India.

Avoid home-bias

Only ~1% of Indian savings are in international equities, often driven by patriotism rather than objective financial analysis.

Access to Global Fund Managers

Invest in a top-rated fund management team globally with a historical record of generating excess returns over

the global benchmark.
