How to start with global investments in 2022

One of those new opportunities is the international stock market, which has emerged as a viable avenue for Indian investors in recent years. Investing in international markets has the benefit of diversifying the risk in your portfolio and enable you to participate in opportunities that are not present in India.

That said, most investors are either not aware of the options available to them or don’t know how to go about investing in international markets. Investing in international market comes with the usual uncertainty as most Indian investors feel unable to fully trust what they are getting into.

Unlike the domestic market, where they have knowledge and know-how about the business and economic environment, the same is presumed to be lacking when it comes to investing in international markets like the US.

The US stock market has in particular emerged as a strong favourite among global investors for its brilliant performance over the long-term and because it allows investors to invest in some of the leading technology companies of the present and the future.

US markets has outshined the rest of the world in recent years. The NASDAQ Composite index, a key gauge of the US market filled with technology-linked stocks, has given annualized returns of 17.3 percent in the past 10 years that comfortably beats the 13.3 annual rate of return of the Nifty 50 index in the same period.

While this year the focus of the investment community in the US is around high inflation and prospects of the US central bank raising interest rates, many commentators believe that the strong growth of corporate earnings and the economy will ensure that investors still make reasonable returns.

A recent survey by Bloomberg News suggested that US stock market are likely to give positive returns from current levels. Moreover, with interest rates rising investors expect sectors such as banks, energy, industrials and materials to perform better than the rest as value stocks come to fore.
