The Indian government has permitted foreign individual investors to buy local mutual fund units in equity schemes, The Wall Street Journal reports. Foreign investors have been allowed to invest up to $10 billion in domestic mutual funds.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India has been named as the market regulator for all such investments. Presently, only foreign institutional investors and sub-accounts registered with the market regulator and non-resident Indians are allowed to invest in Indian mutual fund schemes.
