Let me start with something important.

India is one of the best places to invest today.

Strong growth.
Favourable demographics.
Improving governance.
Entrepreneurial energy.

If someone wants to build wealth patiently, without worrying about currency risk, India is more than sufficient.

And for many investors, India alone can do the job.

But here’s where the conversation changes

Some investors don’t just want “good returns”.

They want:

  • Broader exposure

  • Multiple growth engines

  • Participation across global cycles

And that naturally leads to one question:

“Should I also look beyond India?”

The strongest economies go through phases.

  • There are periods when India outperforms everything

  • And there are periods when other markets quietly take the lead

If you look at long-term data, you’ll notice something interesting.

Emerging Markets ex-India and India don’t move in sync

Whiteoak conducted a study about India’s market performance vis-a-vis emerging market excl India. The correlation between India and EM ex-India is only ~0.5 over long periods

That’s not high.

That’s diversification.

Every region has its strength.

And more importantly — its own leadership.

Let’s simplify this.

Taiwan → Semiconductors

If the world runs on chips…
Taiwan builds them.

Companies like TSMC are not just leaders —
they are backbone of global technology.

South Korea → Electronics & Manufacturing

From displays to batteries to devices…

South Korea quietly dominates high-precision electronics manufacturing.

Europe → Precision + Premium Consumption

Europe isn’t about speed.

It’s about:

  • Engineering excellence

  • Luxury brands

  • Global consumer franchises

Think precision machines. Think premium brands.

China → Scale + Digital Growth + Robots + Manufacturing

Large consumer bases.

Rapid digital adoption.

Strong platforms in:

  • E-commerce

  • Fintech

  • Consumption

Now think about this

Many of these businesses…

Do not exist in India today.

Not because India is behind.

But because every economy evolves differently.

But here’s where most investors go wrong

They approach global investing like this:

  • “Which country will outperform?”

  • “Which sector is trending?”

That rarely works.

Because global investing is not about geography.

It is about business quality.

How serious investors approach this

They focus on:

  • Strong businesses

  • Scalable models

  • Capital efficiency

  • Governance

Across countries.

Not one country.

That’s where this opportunity comes in

We’ve been evaluating a strategy that follows this exact philosophy:

  • Bottom-up stock selection

  • No macro predictions

  • Focus on “great businesses at reasonable valuations”

Led by a team with deep global investing experience.

Who is this relevant for?

Not everyone.

But worth exploring if you:

✔ Already have strong India exposure
✔ Want to diversify intelligently (not randomly)
✔ Are thinking long-term (3–5+ years)
✔ Want access to global leaders not listed in India

At Fincare, we don’t believe in chasing opportunities.

We believe in structuring portfolios thoughtfully.

If global allocation is something you’re considering,
we can explore:

  • How much exposure makes sense

  • Where it fits in your current portfolio

  • Whether this opportunity is suitable for you

Just a conversation.

More about the Strategy (What Makes It Different)

“Invest in great businesses at attractive valuations — anywhere in the world.”

No macro predictions.

No country bets.

Pure bottom-up investing.

1. Not Macro-Driven. Stock-Driven.

  • The portfolio avoids top-down macro calls

  • Focus is entirely on stock selection

This is critical.

Because macro is unpredictable.

But businesses with:

  • strong cash flows

  • good governance

  • scalable models

…tend to compound over time.

2. Proprietary Investment Framework

One of the interesting aspects is their Opco–Finco framework.

In simple terms:

  • They separate the operating business (OpCo)

  • From the capital structure (FinCo)

3. Strong Pedigree Matters

The fund is led by the fund manager, who previously managed:

  • Goldman Sachs India Strategy

  • Global Emerging Markets strategy

with decades of experience and a globally recognised track record

In global investing:

Process + experience matters more than themes

4. Truly Diversified Portfolio

You get exposure to:

  • Semiconductors

  • Technology

  • Financials

  • Consumption

  • Exchanges

Across multiple countries. If you look at current holding, it gives you fair idea of diversification and opportunity.
