I have invested in US ETF using the Indian exchanges but since there is a RBI restriction, the volatility is more. And that's why directly investing in US ETF like VOO, VTI etc are much better option for Indians.
For diversification purpose we need to invest in different asset class across different regions. So as an Indian next best investment region after India is US. Though we get US ETF in Inda but the Net Asset Value is usually different than the actual value. It is either traded in premium or in discount. So what I feel is that if we directly invest in the US using the app like IndMoney or similar ones then it is much better option.
You get the exact value and in the longer run you will also benefit from the US Dollar appreciation. I have started this by investing in the US market mostly in the ETF. Also unlike Indian stocks, the US stocks you can buy as little as $1 and get the fraction of the shares which is also a good option.
Every month I have stared with 100$ investment to US market along with the Indian Market. And in the last 6 months Indian Marlet has given negative returns whereas the US marlet has given positive returns and that's why combining these two gives a great portfolio diversification. I was investing in the US mutual fund too but from this month they have stopped expecting the SIP and that's why I have fully moved my US Investment using the direct etf buy.
The taxation is also in the similar lines and thus investing is also simpler and that's why everyone should start investing in the US. With Rupee declining, it also helps in added appreciation which is again beneficial.
