India has become the least favoured market among global emerging-market (GEM) investors. A note from HSBC shows that India is now the biggest underweight in GEM portfolios, with only a quarter of the funds tracked still overweight on the country.

The underweight call means fund managers are allocating less than the benchmark 15.25 per cent to India in their EM portfolios.
