GIFT City funds compared: What they cost and how they have performed
Business Standard 1 hr ago·13 Nov 2026, 4:59 pm
GIFT City, India's international financial hub, is attracting a growing number of retail mutual funds. These funds, which are listed on the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), offer investors a way to diversify their portfolios beyond domestic markets. However, a comparison of seven such funds with available data reveals significant differences in their size, expense ratios, and past returns.
For investors, this variety means there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Some funds are large and well-established, while others are newer and smaller. The charges associated with these funds also vary, which can impact the net returns over time. It is important for investors to carefully review the fund's track record and fee structure before investing.
What to watch next is the continued expansion of this market. As more products enter the GIFT City space, investors should look for greater transparency and potentially more competitive pricing. Keeping an eye on the performance of these funds relative to global benchmarks will be key to understanding their long-term value.
