Reasons to Invest in US Stocks

Here are some reasons you must consider investing in US stocks:

• Diversification

Diversification is one of the most important principles of investment. You must not restrict your portfolio to one geographical location as various micro, macro, and geopolitical factors may negatively influence your investment. Companies listed on US Stock Exchanges have huge leverage in terms of size and market capitalization, which helps them manoeuvre the headwinds and safeguard investors interests.

• Performance

US stocks provide better returns in comparison to their Indian counterparts historically. The US stock market benchmark indices are much larger than their Indian counterparts in terms of market capitalization. US stock exchanges also have a greater number of companies listed on them, which gives a wide range of investment options to investors. As these behemoths are established organisations, with huge market capitalization they are better positions to deal with market volatility and other challenges. If you are a risk-averse investor looking to earn stable returns, you can explore investing in US blue chip companies through Kuvera.

• Gains from rupee exchange rate

Historically, the value of the Indian rupee has depreciated against the US dollar. Thus, it is prudent to hold some investments in the dollar-denominated asset class as you will earn substantial gains if the stocks rise and the Indian rupee depreciates, which has been the case in case of US blue chip stocks historically. Even if a stock declines, you can still profit from the potential decline of INR against the dollar which has been the case historically.

• Historical performance

US benchmark stock indices historically have outperformed their indian counterparts, though past returns are not a guarantee for future returns.
