US Mutual Funds for Indian investors

US-focused funds let Indian investors own US companies (Apple, Microsoft, etc.) or indices like the S&P 500 / Nasdaq 100, usually as a feeder fund or fund-of-fund.

• Diversification: the US market behaves differently from India and adds global tech exposure.
• Rupee bonus: if the rupee weakens vs the dollar, your returns get a lift.
• Watch-outs: overseas-investment limits can pause fresh inflows; higher expenses.

Tax: treated as debt/non-equity in India — gains taxed at slab rate.
