India Vs Global Markets: Why Experts Still Prefer Domestic Mutual Funds

Global mutual funds, especially those linked to US markets and Nasdaq, have delivered strong returns recently, but experts remain firmly bullish on India’s long-term growth story. While funds tracking indices like the S&P 500 have outperformed in the short term, data suggests that a diversified Indian portfolio across large, mid, and small caps has historically held its ground—even in dollar terms. With India expected to grow at a much faster pace than global averages, domestic equities could offer superior long-term returns. Experts recommend sticking to India-focused investments unless there is a specific need for global exposure, such as future overseas expenses. The message is clear: don’t chase global trends blindly—India’s structural growth story remains intact.
