Advisor details risks for Indian investors accessing US tech stocks
What happened
Madhupam Krishna, a SEBI RIA, advised Indian investors on the risks associated with investing in global companies accessible in the US market, including Microsoft and Amazon. He noted that while investment platforms make overseas stock ownership simple, this convenience can mask risks investors may not fully understand. These risks include market volatility and currency exchange fluctuations.

Why it matters
Krishna explained that US share prices face market risk from factors like interest rates, recession fears, or global shocks, regardless of the platform used. Additionally, Indian investors face USD-INR exchange-rate risk, meaning rupee depreciation or appreciation can alter the final return when converting dollar-denominated investments back into rupees.
