Can NRIs and overseas investors invest with Chanakya?
Yes. NRIs can invest in our PMS through NRE/NRO routes. International investors can invest in USD through the GIFT City AIF. Tax and compliance depend on your country of residence, so speak to a cross-border tax advisor.
How is Chanakya’s PMS different from a mutual fund or AIF?
A mutual fund pools money into one portfolio. A PMS builds an individual portfolio held in your name, with full visibility and direct access to the managers. An AIF is a pooled private fund, and ours is based in GIFT City. The PMS suits investors with ₹50 lakh or more; the AIF suits eligible investors who want a USD structure.
