Summary
$500,000 separately managed accounts are now feasible for some strategies, Clarence Chan said, cutting entry points from the historical $10 million-$20 million range for offshore investing.
Chan said global product innovation has moved beyond feeder funds toward active ETFs, cross-border listings and bespoke mandates, giving Indian advisers more directly deliverable routes to international exposure.
BNY Investments, which Chan said manages about $2.2 trillion in assets, is pitching an integrated model that combines portfolio design, trading and custody rather than just supplying standalone products.
On GIFT City, Chan struck an optimistic but cautious tone, saying global managers are interested while acknowledging the market and regulatory framework will take time to mature.
As global ETFs bypass traditional feeder funds, what hidden compliance traps await Indian advisers trying to unlock these lucrative offshore markets?
With offshore minimums dropping to $500k, are Indian investors about to trigger a massive capital exodus, or will regulatory hurdles trap their wealth?
