WHAT ARELarge-Cap Mutual Funds?

In India, mutual funds evaluation is strictly regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). A Large-Cap Fund is the one mandated to invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity and equity-related instruments of large-cap companies..

SEBI defines Large-Cap companies as the top 100 companies as per full market capitalization, listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) or the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Because these businesses are the market leaders (often in sectors like Banking, IT, and Infrastructure), they are historically stronger during economic downturns compared to Mid-Cap or Small-Cap counterparts. This capital stability makes the Large-Cap category the foundational core of the Indian portfolio.

ADVANTAGES OFInvesting in Large-Cap Funds From Abroad

For NZ-based investors, accessing Indian markets generally requires opening a complex PIS (Portfolio Investment Scheme) account. Indus offers:

Invest directly using your NZ residency status without undergoing NRE/NRO banking process.

2
Your assets are not held on a balance sheet; mutual fund units are held in custody by DBS Bank India, while uninvested cash is guarded by Client Trust Account at ASB Bank & BNZ Bank.

3
Investments made via this route benefit from the India-New Zealand Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), which ensures 0% Capital Gains Tax in India for qualifying NZ tax residents. Indus manages the entire cross-border compliance formalities, including KYC (Know Your Customer) and FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) reporting, so you can focus solely on asset allocation.

How to Invest inLarge-Cap Mutual Funds Online

The Indian large-cap mutual funds of New Zealand are easy to invest in and can be done completely online via Indus. These actions will help to make the process smooth and compliant for every investor.
01
Account Creation
Create your profile on the Invest Indus platform using your standard New Zealand ID (Passport or NZ Driver’s Licence).
02
KYC Verification
Complete the instant e-KYC process. Indus uses your NZ documents to digitally comply with PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) requirements, eliminating the need for physical notarization or visits to India.
03
Fund Your Wallet
Transfer NZD directly to your Indus wallet by transferring nzd to the Indus bank account, details of which are available in the wallet section. This ensures your funds remain in the NZ banking system until deployed, and allows you to access institutional FX rates that avoid the mess of traditional wire transfers.
04
Select Funds
Browse the best of SEBI-regulated schemes. Filter for Large-Cap Growth Funds offered by India's top Asset Management Companies (AMCs) to find funds that align with your risk profile.
05
Complete the Investment
Execute your trade via a Lump Sum or SIP (Systematic Investment Plan). The platform processes the order instantly, with unit allotment typically following the standard T+2 or T+3 settlement cycle.

Frequently Asked
Questions

You can begin by creating an account on Indus and completing our instant digital e-KYC verification. Once verified, you can transfer NZD to your client trust account and select a Large-Cap fund. The entire process is digital.
No, and that is a benefit. Through Indus, you access the exact same SEBI-regulated Large-Cap schemes available to resident Indian investors. You are not restricted only to limited NRI versions; you get the full liquidity and transparency of the domestic market.
There is no limit. You may build a diversified portfolio across multiple AMCs and schemes to reduce fund manager risk, subject only to your available capital.
Yes. Indus exclusively offers Growth Option plans. In these plans, profits are reinvested in the fund to compound, which is generally more tax-efficient for NZ residents than Dividend Payout plans.
We have simplified the documentation. You only require your New Zealand ID (Passport or NZ Driver's Licence) and proof of address.
Once you authorize a transaction, the order is sent to the AMC immediately. Unit allotment follows the standard T+2 or T+3 settlement cycle (Trade Date + 2/3 Business Days), after which the units will reflect in your Indus dashboard.
Yes. The Indus digital dashboard provides real-time tracking of your portfolio's Net Asset Value (NAV), converted to NZD, so you can see your actual returns in your home currency.
Indus charges zero transaction fees on mutual fund purchases or sales. The only cost is the Total Expense Ratio (TER) charged by the AMC itself to manage the fund, which is standard for all mutual funds.
Yes. Your investment structure is highly regulated. Your uninvested cash is held in trust at ASB Bank (NZ), and your Mutual Fund units are held in custody by DBS Bank (India). You are the beneficial owner of the units, meaning your assets are ring-fenced from Indus's own balance sheet.
Large-Cap funds are often recommended as the "anchor" for new portfolios because they invest in the top 100 established companies. While all equity investments carry market risk, Large-Caps have historically offered lower volatility than Mid- or Small-Cap funds.
