Why 99% of the Indians should not measure mutual fund returns in USD terms? 1-April-2025: USDINR = ₹ 85.60 31-March-2026: USDINR = ₹93.48 Depreciation of around 9.20% Returns in USD: 🔸PPF - negative 🔸Sukanya Samridhi Yojana - negative 🔸National Savings Certificate - negative 🔸Fixed Deposits - negative 🔸Recurring Deposit - negative 🔸Senior Citizen Savings Scheme - negative 🔸RBI Floating Rate Bond - negative 🔸Tax free bonds - negative 🔸National Pension Scheme - negative 🔸Traditional Insurance policies - negative 🔸Guaranteed Insurance plans - negative 🔸Annuities - negative 🔸Unit Link Insurance Policies - negative 🔸95% of the NCDs - negative Either the whole portfolio (including these instruments) should be measure in USD or everything should be measured in INR. Why only Mutual Funds??? Why abuse fund managers, mutual fund houses and intermediaries? Am I missing something? Happy to hear your thoughts.

I prefer Gift city despite small tax inefficiency over buying the ETFs / UCITs directly through portals, Vested, IndMoney (bringing 3000 UCITs soon), IBKR, other global brokerage or discount brokerage platforms. Currently my global exposure is through Mutual Funds only and I will at some point of the time in future will take through Gift City. Please note, in case the exposure is through ETFs domiciled in US, the inheritance tax will be applicable if the market value is more than 60,000 USD. This can be circumvented by buying UCITs. But you can not circumvent TRANSMISSION formalities. Transmission of units in case of death of the unit holder will not be easy considering money is in another jurisdiction. The cost to claiming that money will be significant percentage of the Assets (for smaller portfolios). Many people assume their family can simply use their ID and password to sell investments if something happens to them. That is illegal and can create serious complications. @contliving
