With this partnership, Religare Broking will enable investors to directly invest in US stocks that they consume on a regular basis including Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook, etc.
We strongly believe that international diversification is here to stay. We’re still at day zero in terms of Indian investors diversifying their investments beyond our local market, says Shah.
For the new SAMVAT, investors should focus on building a strong diversification foundation for their portfolios. This foundation is built on four diversification pillars: asset, time, industry and geography.

Over the year 2020, these companies which include Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, and Google have added almost $2 Trillion in wealth to the US markets.
A rally in the US market has been driven by a handful of leading tech stocks and consequently, it is not surprising that most asset managers have reasonably high exposure to them.
We believe that investing abroad is a much-needed geographic diversification strategy for investors in India. They should look to allocate 10-15% of their portfolio to international markets.
