This provides investors with exposure to different economies and sectors, potentially helping to diversify their portfolio and reduce risk.

2. Why should Indian investors consider global equity mutual funds?

There are several reasons why Indian investors might consider investing in global equity mutual funds:
- Diversification: Investing in companies outside of India can help to reduce your portfolio's dependence on the Indian market, which can be volatile. This can help to smooth out your returns over time.
- Access to new opportunities: Global equity mutual funds can provide access to companies and sectors that are not available to Indian investors through the domestic market. This can give you the chance to invest in high-growth sectors or innovative companies.
- Hedging against rupee depreciation: If you believe that the rupee is likely to depreciate in the future, investing in global assets can help to hedge against this risk.

While there are potential benefits to investing in global equity mutual funds, there are also some risks to be aware of:
- Currency risk: The value of your investment can be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
