Indian Mutual funds [India]
Indian Mutual funds [India]
My nephew lives in India and started a new career. Could you please suggest low cost buy & hold funds that he can invest in.
Re: Indian Mutual funds
Right so a combination of Motilal Oswal Nifty 500 fund and Motilal Oswal S&P 500 fund should do the job for your nephew. He can buy them using Kuvera.

This thread is now in the Non-US Investing forum (non-US investing question). I retitled the thread for clarity.

Have you found the non-US section of the wiki? If not, this page may be of interest:

India has a sub-par US income tax treaty, and no US estate tax treaty whatsoever. Assuming that your nephew is not a US citizen, for US tax reasons he will want to entirely avoid holding US domiciled funds or ETFs such as VT and VTI, and instead hold either local Indian mutual funds or other non-US (typically Ireland) domiciled ETFs. Full details in these wiki pages.

Nifty 50 index funds are represent most of the market and are low cost. For example, UTI Nifty 50 has 0.1% expense. You can directly invest from Asset Management Company (AMC). If you want to invest across multiple, MFs consider a non-demat platform : Kuvera is great (Zerodha Coin is a Demat).

Re: Indian Mutual funds
You can use Kuvera for buying via Direct Plan. Or Zerodha but that stores Mutual Fund units in Demat format.

Re: Indian Mutual funds [India]
I would not advice owning anything other than local Indian mutual funds due to the strict foreign asset reporting requirement that owning foreign ETF's/mutual funds entails. I dug myself into a hole owning foreign ETF's and having to pay 40,000 rupees (544.67 USD) to CA as a result of foreign asset reporting. Luckily it seems that Indian mutual funds owning foreign stocks are not treated as foreign assets by Tax Department so I switched to using that.

Any ETF ticker names you'd recommend? Some alternatives to basic ones like SPY, VTI, VTIBX etc.Anon9001 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 1:46 am I would not advice owning anything other than local Indian mutual funds due to the strict foreign asset reporting requirement that owning foreign ETF's/mutual funds entails.

Motilal Oswal S&P 500 index Fund, Motilal Oswal Nasdaq 100 ETF and Motilal Oswal Nifty 500 Index Fund. There are no International Bond Funds here. I would advice to not invest in debt funds if you are Indian as the risk-return is much better for Public Provident Fund, Employee Provident Fund and also they are not taxable (EPF you have to wait 5 years before it is not taxable) compared to debt funds which are taxable with the only issue being liquidity for these.bostonboglehead123 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 10:50 am Any ETF ticker names you'd recommend?

Re: Indian Mutual funds [India]
Yes Capital Gains are 20% Long Term with Inflation Indexation. I don't think 40% is correct on Dividends. The India US Double Taxation Agreement states that 25% of Dividends will be Taxed not 40%.
Demat format is putting mutual fund units in demat account. There are no advantages to doing so I would recommend using non-demat format Mutual Fund platforms like Kuvera. Zerodha Coin is demat format. You can buy Direct Plans in both Zerodha Coin and Kuvera. The demat format doesn't effect this.
