Portfolio
FoF Overseas funds invest in mutual funds that are domiciled in other financial markets, such as the US, UK, other European countries and so on. Essentially, these funds invest in other international funds and therefore give domestic investors exposure to foreign stocks. Investments in such funds also involve currency risk. Care needs to be taken to both understand the drivers of international market and the underlying fundu2019s strategy. Though the asset class is equity, these funds are taxed like debt funds as tax laws provide equity taxation only to funds investing in domestic stocks.
These funds suit investors who want some diversification from Indian markets and who are willing to take the risk. They can also be used by investors who have expenses in the currency of the market being invested in.
Short-term: Holding period is less than 36 months.
Taxation: Capital gains are taxed at individual’s slab rate
Long-term: Holding period is 36 months or more.
Taxation: Capital gains are taxed at 20% with indexation benefit.
