Further, MOAMC in a statement adds, "Indian investors have traditionally taken exposure to only domestic markets. With such a narrow focus, investor tends to lose out on the Global large opportunity set. Even while diversifying internationally, US takes the prominence all across. MOAMC was the first one to offer Nasdaq 100 based ETF and S&P 500 based Index Fund in India. Similarly, this time MOAMC comes up with 1st ever Index fund for other Developed markets - Motilal Oswal MSCI EAFE Top 100 Select Index Fund. Diversifying your portfolio across different geographies can help reduce volatility as compared to Indian Equities."

Commenting on the launch, Navin Agarwal, MD & CEO, Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company Ltd, said, “This Fund is another attempt to help our investors create a well-diversified portfolio from global assets. Motilal Oswal MSCI EAFE Top 100 Select Index Fund provides investors a different basket of investing where they could access markets outside U.S. which provide diversification benefit due to different return drivers. The Fund will be suitable for investors looking to diversify their portfolio across different geographies which can be used as diversification tool in to hedge volatility in Indian Equities."
