Gift City Funds (For NRIs & Global Investors)
Key Features
Gift City funds are globally focused investment vehicles set up under the International Financial Services Centre Authority (IFSCA). Designed to offer Indian and NRI investors seamless global exposure, they provide:
-

Why Gift City Funds Make Sense for NRIs
For many NRIs, investing in India or global markets often involves multiple layers—repatriation rules, currency conversions, tax considerations, and operational complexity. Gift City Funds simplify this by creating a single, internationally aligned platform that feels familiar to global investors.
In practical terms, Gift City acts like India’s offshore financial hub, allowing NRIs to access global investments under a framework designed for cross-border capital.
How Gift City Funds Are Different (In Simple Terms)
-
Invest like an offshore investor, while staying connected to India
Gift City funds are set up outside traditional Indian domestic regulations, giving them flexibility similar to offshore funds Singapore or Dubai—while still being India-linked. -
No unnecessary currency friction
Many Gift City funds accept investments directly in foreign currencies, reducing repeated currency conversions and operational hassle. -
Designed for NRIs and global families
Documentation, onboarding, and fund structures are aligned to NRI and OCI needs rather than domestic-only investors. -
Access global markets from one platform
Instead of opening multiple overseas investment accounts, Gift City allows consolidated exposure to international equities, bonds, and alternative assets.
Who Typically Uses Gift City Funds?
Gift City Funds are particularly suited for:
-
NRIs and OCIs based in the Australia, NZ, US, UK, Middle East, and Singapore
-
Global families looking to diversify beyond their country of residence
-
Investors wanting international exposure without managing multiple jurisdictions
-
Those planning long-term wealth allocation, succession, or repatriation flexibility
