Over the last module, we spent time understanding why global investing matters.

We saw how most Indian portfolios remain almost entirely invested within India, even though India represents only about 4 to 5% of the global equity market. We also discussed why spreading money across different products inside the same country does not necessarily mean true diversification.

That argument made sense. But it immediately raises a practical question.

If I want to invest outside India, how do I actually do it? Is it allowed? Are there limits? What does the government need to know?

This chapter is about answering those questions.

Before we talk about platforms, routes, or products, it helps to understand the regulatory framework that makes cross-border investing possible for Indian residents. Once that foundation is clear, everything else becomes much easier to follow.
