India’s story is one of unstoppable growth—now projected to be the world’s third-largest economy by 2028, supported by a young workforce, rapid digital transformation, and resilient financial markets. For NRIs and foreign nationals, finding a safe, efficient, and diversified way to invest in this growth—without the complexities of local compliance or onerous taxes—is now possible through GIFT City’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) and the Tata India Dynamic Equity Fund IFSC.
Why GIFT City and Tata Asset Management Matter
GIFT City is India’s first IFSC, a duty-free financial hub offering seamless transactions, simplified regulations, and a globally competitive tax regime. Tata Asset Management, with over 30 years’ experience and trust from millions of investors, now brings you the Tata India Dynamic Equity Fund IFSC—your gateway to India’s high-growth opportunities in an easy, transparent, and tax-efficient manner.
The Fund Explained: Simple Onboarding, Global Access
- Investment starts at USD 500: Ideal for both individual and institutional investors.
- No need for Indian PAN or tax return: NRIs are exempt from Indian capital gains tax, dividend tax, and interest income tax. Tax payable is only in your country of residence, as per local laws.
- No Indian Demat or local bank account required: You invest directly in USD and other major currencies.
Onboarding is simple—submit your KYC documents and open a zero-balance account via Tata Asset Management’s IFSC branch. Physical and digital channels are available, with streamlined compliance for FATF jurisdictions (excluding restricted countries).
Dynamic Asset Allocation for Risk-Adjusted Returns
The Tata India Dynamic Equity Fund IFSC is designed for modern investors who want to take advantage of India’s market cycles while minimizing unnecessary risk:
- Core Portfolio: Invests dynamically in broad-based market-cap funds such as large, mid, and small-cap index funds and ETFs (50‒100% allocation). This ensures a balanced exposure to India’s growth, while spreading out risk. Market cap describes the size of listed companies—large-cap stocks are stable giants, while mid/small-caps offer higher growth potential but more volatility.
- Satellite Portfolio: Allocates up to 50% to sectoral, thematic, and arbitrage funds, including emerging sectors like tech, energy, healthcare, and international ETFs. Thematic funds target fast-growing industries or economic trends, while arbitrage funds use pricing differences to generate returns with low risk.
- Active Allocation: Portfolio mix is not static—it’s continually rebalanced based on changing market conditions, fundamentals, and tactical opportunities. This builds resilience and harnesses opportunities across cycles, rather than locking you into one asset class.
Diversification: Your Shield Against Market Volatility
Diversification is fundamental to smart investing. By spreading investments across large, mid, and small caps, plus sectoral and thematic funds, the Tata India Dynamic Equity Fund IFSC aims to provide both stability and upside. This approach can reduce the impact of any single sector downturn, balancing risk and return, and aligning with global best practices in wealth management.
Data-Backed Growth: Why Invest in India Now?
- India’s GDP has more than doubled since 2013—now at $4.27 trillion.

- Digital transformation at scale: India leads the world in real-time digital payments and financial inclusion.
These trends feed directly into the fund’s asset strategy, giving investors exposure to growth engines in manufacturing, IT, financial services, and consumption.
