Indian Investors Ditch Local Market for US Stocks: $1.6B Inflow from 145 Cities

• Indian investors are increasingly shifting to US stocks, growing foreign investment from $400M to over $1.6B in six years.
• This trend is driven by a desire for portfolio diversification, better returns, and risk balancing, as India's market doesn't always outperform.
• Global investment is widespread, with investors from 145 Indian cities, including 47% from Tier-2/3 cities, participating.
• Young investors (48% under 35) are leading this shift, often starting with small amounts (<$500) and building diversified portfolios.
• Preferred investments include tech giants like Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, and ETFs like Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF.

Why It Matters: Indian investors are diversifying globally, favoring US tech stocks and ETFs for better returns and risk management.
