Investment opportunities for NRIs
The investment opportunities available to NRIs are endless. Some of them are mentioned below:

• Government securities or Units of UTI through authorised dealers. Units can also be directly purchased from UTI.

• National Savings Certificates

• Portfolio investments i.e. purchase of shares / debentures of Indian companies through stock exchanges in India. This facility is granted both on repatriation and non repatriation basis.

• Investments in Mutual Funds
• NRI's holding Indian passports and persons of Indian origin enjoy parity of status. Therefore they can Invest in or Inherit Immovable Property subject to certain exceptions and prescribed conditions. Housing finance companies and banks have been permitted to offer home loans to NRI and they can repay home loans through inward remittance using normal banking channels or by debit to his NRE/FCNR(B)/NRO account or out of rental income derived from renting out such property.

There is no lock-in period with regard to immovable property that is inherited however, repatriation of funds from a residential property is restricted to a maximum of two properties only.
Some of the areas where investments are restricted for an NRI include agriculture, plantation and construction of farm houses.
NRIs are also allowed to transfer as gift any residential / commercial property in India to a person resident in India or to an NRI or PIO subject to certain exceptions, and the sale proceeds of the property received as gift will be credited only to an NRO account. There is no lock-in period for sale of residential/commercial property. NRIs can remit abroad an additional amount up to $1 million per year from the sale of immovable property in India, subject to certain conditions.

END OF THE DAY STATUS OF THE STOCK MARKET:

Sensex came down by 2.1 % today.

SENSEX: 10,581.5 (-2.1%) NIFTY: 3,269.3 (-2.1%)
. DOWN..50.1 % from 21,206.77 the 52-week high of BSE-SENSEX
. UP..........3.3 % from 10,239.76 the 52-week low of BSE-SENSEX

Investment & Wealth Creation Advice:

As indicated by us in the last few weeks, Sensex has come down substantially. It is now at about 50% of its 52-week high level. It is expected to go down further by about 1000-2000 points in the next few weeks. However, nobody can ever predict how much it will go down further.

You should now consider making systematic investments over the next few weeks after taking investment expert's advice. If you are planning to invest amount X in the next couple of months in equity shares / mutual funds, then invest 10% of the amount now, as the market may go down further. After a week or so, you could invest another 10% and so on.

As you, as an NRI, may not find it easy to remain in close touch with the Indian market, we recommend that you invest in diversified mutual funds with a 12-36 month perspective.
If you make investments in the right shares and mutual funds when the market is at 11000 or lower levels, you can expect minimum 20% (post-tax) compounded annual returns in the next 3 years.
We recommend that you read the Golden Rules of Investing given below at least once every month to ensure that you do not forget these golden rules and make investments in wrong assets.

Golden Rules of Investing
  • Never put all your eggs in one basket. De-risk by making equal investments in realty, fixed-interest instruments, equity / mutual funds and gold when the time is right for making these specific investments.
  • Out of the investments planned to be made in equity & mutual funds, make equal investments in 10-15 stocks with strong fundamentals, belonging to 4-6 sectors OR equal investments in 3-5 diversified mutual funds OR a mix of these two asset classes.

  • Never invest based on your gut feel or a friend's advice.

  • Never make speculative investments. Listen to two or three time-tested investment advisors.

  • Never make these 3 common mistakes: 1. Buying shares of a reputed company at a wrong price, 2. Buying shares of a bad company at any price, 3. Buying & Selling shares without consulting time-tested investment advisors.

  • Never depend entirely on your broker for making all your buying & selling decisions. Do consult at least two time-tested investment advisors.

  • Never lose money. Define your stop-loss rules in consultation with time-tested investment advisors to protect your capital.

  • Never borrow to invest in stocks.

  • Never believe that you are destined to make it big. Such beliefs often lead to wrong decisions and major losses. Be rational. De-risk. Listen to time-tested investment advisors.

  • Avoid investing in stocks / mutual funds or realty or gold when their prices appear to be at a high. Make Systematic Investments with a long-term view when they are at a low.

  • Keep the stocks for a long-term or make Systematic Divestments when the markets appear to be at a high.

  • Caution: Speculative & Short-term investments and investments made without consulting time-tested investment advisors could be detrimental to your financial health.
