Stocks and exchange traded funds for Indian investors.
For Appreciate Wealth, the total number of overseas trades put by Indian retail investors has increased 44% year-on-year (yo-y) in October with the value of trades expanding much faster at 164% for the same month.
The growing share of overseas equity investments, said Shlok Srivastav, founder at Appreciate Wealth, “signals a maturing investor base prioritizing global diversification, currency hedging, and access to innovation-led sectors like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and healthcare that remain underrepresented in domestic markets.”
Software engineer Sidhoji Sawant, who's been investing overseas for a year now, is a case in point. “Coming from a tech background I was always interested in tech companies. And when I got to know we can buy US stocks directly, I started investing in 2024,” he said.
Sidhoji, who uses platforms like IND Money and India INX for his trades, currently owns shares in Nvidia, Alibaba, Intercontinental Exchange, and other global companies.
Appreciate is one among the top two brokers by volumes for investing abroad; the other being Borderless.
