Participate in Markets. Understand the Volatility.
Equity investments give you part-ownership in companies and can offer long-term growth potential, but prices fluctuate and losses are possible. Investors can access equity markets in India and, subject to applicable rules, in overseas markets.
Domestic Equity
- Direct Equity — Buy shares of listed companies through a demat and trading account, after completing KYC.
- Equity ETFs — Exchange-traded funds that track an index or a theme.
- Other Eligible Products — Other market-linked instruments permitted by regulation.
Overseas Equity
- Access routes — Global equity exposure through eligible international funds, ETFs or overseas platforms, subject to RBI and FEMA rules including LRS limits.
- Currency risk — Returns are affected by exchange-rate movements.
- Tax and reporting — Overseas holdings may carry tax and disclosure obligations in India.
- Different markets — Regulations, market hours and economic factors differ from India.
Key Risks
- Market volatility and the possible loss of capital
- Concentration risk if investments are spread across too few companies
- Liquidity risk in certain stocks
