India market is controlled by SEBI (like US SEC), they are very conservative on companies, regulated. Unlike here in USA, wildness is less. There is one catch, USA when IPOs comes of founder's stake is less (say less than 25%), but in india founder may hold even 75% and they run the company. Mostly, the companies have tie-ups or founders from European or USA experienced Indians. If you can collect data and work with DCF methodlogy, Indian companies growth are better, however currency is always getting devalued against USD. I have seen USD to INR from INR 8/USD to now INR 92/USD last 40 years. Another aspect, it is not easy to open investment account from abroad (too many compliance requirement and impossible to retailers). Other than this, my old friends are invested in mutual funds and even gained 35% YOY CAGR. Last 5 years had been phenomenal growth in India and next five to ten years may have good growth. If you are in USA or EUROPE, better to invest in US ADRs like **NFTY**, INDA, INDY and **FLIN** to protect currency fluctuation. The bold two are better than other twos. Good Luck and Happy investing.
There are always India-focused ETFs. Looks like Indian stocks have been a bit flat in the last year. NFTY is an equal-weight across Indian large caps and seems to perform better than some others (58% in 5 years). INDY on the other hand has serious dividend yield. EPI is interesting as it only focuses on Indian companies that are profitable. It's performed better over 5y than the others (+67%). Expense ratios on all these are pretty steep. But there are quite a few to consider. Full list: [https://www.sharestep.co/pub?tid=ts\_xsaodd46](https://www.sharestep.co/pub?tid=ts_xsaodd46)
Last five years, economy boomed, as Indian government freed ( previously restricted) 100% foreign direct investment with one condition that manufacturing must be done inside Indian territories. Some Local mutual funds gained 35% CAGR , but risk is in USD to INR conversion devaluation. Best way is to invest in US ETFs like FLIN, INDY, NFTY for USD holdings.
Country specific ETFs could be an option. NFTY (India), EWZ (Brazil) etc, if you want to avoid specific areas. Personally I wouldn't shy away from PRC - but all EM markets are going to be more volatile
Comment I made from last post: “If that’s what you’re worried about. My wife’s account, my brokerage, and my mothers ROTH are broken down like 40% QQQ/VOO, 20% ETFS outside America like NFTY, 20% crypto(was 5% but pumped), 20% individual (mostly blue chip). I sold half of everybody’s holdings, this is a gains post after all. The plays I listed are for ME only. The other accounts I listed have more money than what I’m gambling with. Thank you for being concerned over a stranger on the internet, I hope that eases your mind, and some others minds about this post.”

I mean if that’s what you’re worried about, I did sell half their holdings and had them buy VOO and holding a lot of cash right now, it’s a gain post after all. My account tho, I already listed the other plays I’m doing for ME. If that eases your consciousness. My wife, my brokerage, and my mothers retirement are really basic 40% VOO/QQQ, 20% ETFS outside America like NFTY, 20% crypto (was 5%), 20% individual stocks (mostly blue chip). And those holdings are larger than what I posted.
NFTY. They suffer the same problem as the US stock market being more top heavy.
India is an EM. Take a look at the NFTY
On 12, it isn't cherry picked. It is bound my one of my tickers - the NFTY one. If I remove it, the whole thing is then bound by VTIAX and we go to, I think, 14 years but the maximal sharpe remains the same. I am just curious, assume good faith lol.
Good question. It was bound by one of my tickers - the NFTY one. If I remove it, the whole thing is then bound by VTIAX and maximal sharpe mostly remains the same.
ETF town. Pick a couple good ones and never sell. Just add every paycheck until retirement. I like NFTY
Thanks.... I think I need to organize it a little bit more. For now, I was just wanted to start investing and not keep the money in the bank. I THINK I'll just get the INDA or NFTY for now. I'll eventually split the saving for long term and short term. Thanks again.
I don't know that I have any suggestions, per say, on what you should or should not hold. If I did, the thought that comes to mind as I'm reading this shared thread is that I'm not sure (or I'm unclear) on what your investment goal is. Your original question asked about your holdings from a diversification standpoint, which is why I mentioned the concentration on equities and domestic funds. If you want to strive to improve on something, it could be helpful if you put some time into figuring out what your investing strategy is, if you have not already. Is your goal long term saving for retirement? Are you after as much diversification as possible to level out the potential volatility? Or are you after shorter, quicker, returns or higher than average returns? None of which is bad. Everyone invests differently. But if you know what your investing goals are, then you can start examining what you are doing and see if there are changes that could be made to improve the chances of reaching those goals. If you're after increasing diversification, including some INDA or NFTY would definitely give you a non-domestic holding that you currently do not have.
Thanks. I'm little worried about getting something from the sector that I usually don't follow. I'm into technology, especially IT. So, I kinda know how the companies are performing. Apart from that, I follow indian market as well, (I'm an Indian) so I was thinking I can just get INDA or NFTY, similar to VOO . What would you suggest to improve or look into?
I Bought some NFTY a few months ago
Over the last 3-4 years, NFTY has absolutely crushed the SPY, 13% to 8% cagr. If you think India is the same market it was 5-10 yrs ago, then you're sleeping. Downvote me all you want, but it wont change the numbers.
NFTY etf follows the nifty50 And you can buy call options for this ETF

That is fine too. I personally only hold $INCO but I am looking to get $NFTY which is equally weighted index of 50 largest Indian companies.
For those looking for ETF exposure to India here are a few $NFTY $INCO $SMIN $INDF
