Invest · US stocks
Look beyond one market.
US stocks can add different businesses to your portfolio. Start with where they fit, the risks you take and the rules that apply to you.
What a US allocation adds
A wider choice of investments is useful when it serves your goals. It is not a reason to buy more of the same businesses through a different account.

A different set of businesses
US exchanges include technology, healthcare and consumer businesses that may not be listed in your home market. Look at what a company earns, what you pay for it and what sits behind a familiar name.

Less reliance on one market
An overseas allocation can spread exposure across markets. Check what you already own through stocks and funds: a new geography does not always mean a genuinely different investment.

Another currency to consider
US shares are priced in dollars. If your spending currency is different, exchange-rate movements can increase or reduce your return, alongside the movement in the share price.
Before you move money abroad
Understand the account, the costs and the obligations before choosing a stock.
Your residence and eligibility
The rules depend on where you live, your status and the provider you use. India’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme applies to eligible resident individuals; it is not a universal route for everyone investing in US stocks.
The full cost
Consider brokerage, currency conversion, remittance and account charges. Small, repeated transfers can make costs more significant. Check the provider’s current terms before funding an account.
Tax and reporting
Dividends, gains and foreign-asset reporting can involve more than one jurisdiction. Get qualified tax guidance for your residence and circumstances before investing; this page is not tax advice.
Losses and access to your money
Overseas shares can fall in value. Currency movements, market hours and the account provider’s withdrawal process also matter, especially if you may need the money soon.
For remittances from India, refer to the RBI’s LRS guidance and confirm the current requirements with your authorised bank.

Which Savart membership includes US stocks?
Savart X and Savart One both cover the US market. Compare their advice allowances, included research and planning services to choose the right membership.
Can I invest in US stocks from India?
Eligible resident individuals may use the RBI Liberalised Remittance Scheme for permitted investments, subject to its current limits and conditions. Check your eligibility and the applicable rules with your authorised bank. Different rules may apply to non-residents.
How does currency risk affect my return?
When your spending currency differs from the US dollar, the exchange rate affects what your holdings are worth in that currency. A currency movement can help or hurt your return, even if the share price has not changed.
Does a US allocation make my portfolio safe?
No. Spreading investments across markets can reduce reliance on one market, but it does not prevent losses. The companies you hold, their valuations, your currency exposure and your time horizon still matter.
