Mutual fund’s overseas assets jump 24% reducing net foreign liabilities: RBI
The UAE, US, UK and Singapore account for nearly half of all non-resident holdings in Indian mutual fund
In 2025-26, Indian mutual funds significantly increased their overseas investments, resulting in a 24% rise in their overseas assets, according to the Reserve Bank of India's latest survey. This surge in overseas assets was offset by a 3.3% increase in their net foreign liabilities, bringing the total down to $21.3 billion from $22.3 billion the previous year.
The growth in overseas assets was driven primarily by investments in foreign equity securities, which jumped 37.5% to $93,602 crore. The UAE, US, UK, and Singapore were the primary sources of these investments, accounting for about half of all mutual fund units held by non-residents. Japan emerged as the largest investor in Asset Management Companies (AMCs), with a 80% share of total FDI in the sector, totaling ₹36,920 crore.
