International mutual funds have outperformed their domestic peers across various time horizons, including the current calendar year, the past one year and the past three years, an analysis by ETMutualFunds showed.
However, Indian investors looking to increase their overseas exposure face a key challenge.

This has raised questions about what has changed and whether investors should increase SIPs in international funds or continue with domestic equity SIPs.
