23M NRI investing in India - index funds, debt funds, gold ETF?
Hi, I’m 23, Indian citizen living/working in Australia(tech). My father may transfer around ₹1 crore to me for a long-term India-focused portfolio, after confirming the proper NRI/tax setup with our CA.
I already invest in global ETFs (Ghhf + bgbl) from Australia, so this would mainly be India exposure. I don’t know the Indian market deeply (or the Indian market terms used, wish I had a bit more knowledge in finance), so I’m leaning towards boring broad index mutual funds instead of stock picking.
I’ve seen Ankur Warikoo’s advice suggesting a mix of equity mutual funds, debt mutual funds, and gold ETFs. Is that generally sensible or too conservative?
Also, what NRI tax/account questions should I ask the CA before investing?
