Global Stocks on ET Money: What Your ₹ Can Buy?
ET Money has launched Global Investing, letting Indian users buy US stocks, international ETFs, and global mutual funds — all in one app, powered by Vested Finance. No separate account needed.
Investing in Apple stock from your phone costs less brokerage than your monthly Swiggy order.
Your annual overseas investment cap under LRS — know it before you invest globally
Key Takeaways
Check your LRS usage for this financial year across all platforms before investing — your $250,000 annual limit is shared across overseas education, travel, and investments combined.
Budget for 20% TCS upfront if your total overseas remittance crosses ₹7 lakh this year — you'll recover it at ITR filing, but keep that cash ready in the meantime.
Compare expense ratios: direct US stock investing via LRS can be cheaper than international mutual funds, but factor in currency conversion fees charged at the time of remittance.

Here's what happened: ET Money launched Global Investing, letting users buy US stocks, international ETFs, and global mutual funds directly within the app alongside existing SIPs, FDs, and NPS.. The global investing infrastructure is powered by Vested Finance, a SEBI-registered intermediary, removing the need for a separate overseas brokerage account.. The move addresses a long-standing pain point: Indian AMC international fund subscriptions have repeatedly paused due to RBI's industry-level overseas investment limits..
What you should do: Check your LRS usage for this financial year across all platforms before investing — your $250,000 annual limit is shared across overseas education, travel, and investments combined.. Budget for 20% TCS upfront if your total overseas remittance crosses ₹7 lakh this year — you'll recover it at ITR filing, but keep that cash ready in the meantime.. Compare expense ratios: direct US stock investing via LRS can be cheaper than international mutual funds, but factor in currency conversion fees charged at the time of remittance..
If you already invest in international mutual funds via any Indian AMC, that amount does NOT count against your personal $250,000 LRS limit — only direct remittances abroad do.
