Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd. has established a wholly owned subsidiary at the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in GIFT City, Gandhinagar, to launch two new retail fund of funds schemes.

The new entity, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC International (IFSC) Limited, is regulated by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA). Its primary objective is to build investment solutions that allow Indian and foreign investors to participate in global opportunities through the IFSC framework.

Initial product offerings

The subsidiary’s initial offerings target distinct investor segments with specific geographic exposures:

• ABSL Emerging Market Equity Fund (Outbound): An open-end thematic fund of funds designed for resident Indians and eligible Indian corporates. It seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in units of the ARGA Emerging Market Equity Fund and other emerging market funds. The underlying strategy utilizes a value-oriented approach supported by quantitative screening and fundamental research. Resident Indians can invest via the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), while corporates can participate through the Overseas Portfolio Investment (OPI) route.
• ABSL India Growth Fund (Inbound): An open-end diversified fund of funds aimed at NRI and foreign investors. This actively managed scheme invests in equity-oriented schemes, including ETFs and Index Funds, of Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund. It dynamically allocates across sectors, market caps, and themes to capture opportunities within the Indian market.

Investment thresholds and strategic context

For eligible investors, the international investing option provides an initial investment amount of USD 500 and in multiples of USD 100. Subsequent investments start at USD 100 and in multiples of USD 100. This structure offers exposure beyond the limited representation available in domestic markets, facilitating portfolio diversification across geographies.

A. Balasubramanian, Managing Director & CEO of Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Ltd., stated that establishing presence at GIFT IFSC is a strategic step towards building global investment capabilities from India. He noted that the initiative aims to create solutions enabling Indian investors to participate in global growth and NRI/foreign investors to participate in India's growth story, leveraging the capabilities of leading Indian and global investment managers.

What the numbers show

The dual-fund structure reveals a bidirectional capital flow strategy embedded in the product design. The ABSL Emerging Market Equity Fund facilitates outbound capital deployment from India to global emerging markets via LRS/OPI routes, while the ABSL India Growth Fund channels inbound foreign capital into domestic equity schemes. This symmetry allows the AMC to act as a bridge for cross-border asset allocation, capturing fees from both outward diversification needs of domestic investors and inward exposure demands of foreign entities, all under a single regulatory umbrella in GIFT City.

Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited will host an earnings conference call on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 4:00 pm IST to discuss its unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.
