Indian investors hold steady in US markets amid 'chaos' in Q2 2025: Report

Indian investments in US equity markets in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025) held steady amid the 'chaos' of trade-tariff shocks, volatility and geopolitical uncertainty, said a report by financial technology platform Vested on Tuesday. The company enables investors, primarily those in India, to access the US stock market. Its assets under management (AUM) grew 140 per cent to Rs 5,500 crore in Q2 2025 from Rs 2,200 crore the previous year. Average portfolio size crossed Rs 7 lakh. 'Amid this chaos, Indian investors on Vested didn't just hold steady, they doubled down,' said the financial technology company's Q2 2025 Global Investing Report. Buy volumes rose 20.47 per cent quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q), 'reflecting growing confidence in global investing'. According to Vested, Indian investors displayed 'remarkable resilience during the turbulence of Q2 2025'. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, emerged as a favourite, with a 113 per cent surge in investors on the platform. Duolingo (language learning platform)'s stock saw its investor base skyrocket by 2,255 per cent on Vested, highlighting a move beyond just the traditional FAANG stocks, the five major US technology companies: Facebook (Meta), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. Smarter, calmer, more global Instead of retreating during April's tariff-driven selloff, many investors trimmed their positions in volatile names such as Tesla and Nvidia, only to re-enter later as markets stabilised. The report notes growing interest in healthcare majors like UnitedHealth and Novo Nordisk, alongside niche innovation plays such as CRISPR Therapeutics and IONQ Inc. Diversification is also spreading geographically. With the US dollar down 7 per cent Q-o-Q and divergent central bank policies, Indian investors increased allocations to Europe (VGK), China (FXI, CWEB), and Brazil (EWZ). ETFs preferred Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become the preferred vehicle for global diversification: -QQQM investor count jumped 131 per cent Q-o-Q. -SOXX (semiconductors) grew 101 per cent. -IWM (small-cap ETF) investor base soared 622 per cent. Healthcare-focused XLV saw a staggering 1,087 per cent increase in unique investors, fuelled by interest in GLP-1 drug makers and AI-led diagnostics. Even dividend-focused SCHD, short-term bond fund VUSB, and silver ETF SLV saw steady inflows. 'This quarter wasn't about momentum, it was about method,' said Vested's report. The 140 per cent annual rise in investing reflects a behavioural shift: Indian investors are diversifying portfolios and repositioning during volatility instead of retreating, it said.

Retail participation in mkts increase; demat accounts surge to 194 mn: Sebi

The Indian market is witnessing remarkable participation from retail investors, with a surge in demat accounts to 194 million in 2025 from 36 million in 2019, a senior Sebi official said on Tuesday. Meanwhile, domestic institutional ownership in listed companies has increased from 13 per cent to 20 per cent, while foreign ownership has declined from 22 per cent to 17 per cent. Speaking at an event organised by IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025, Ruchi Chojer, Executive Director at Sebi, said that trust is the cornerstone of investment, and India has earned that trust. "At Sebi, our regulatory approach has focused on balancing capital formation with systemic stability and investor protection. Trust is the cornerstone of investment, and India has earned that trust," she was quoted in a statement issued by IVCA. She shared that retail participation has surged from 36 million demat accounts in 2019 to 194 million in 2025. Highlighting the evolution of capital markets in the country, Chojer said that over the last three decades, India's capital markets have transformed into one of the world's top 10 equity ecosystems-- resilient, inclusive, and increasingly driven by domestic participation. In the last 10 years alone, Indian companies have raised nearly Rs 93 trillion through equity and debt, with FY 202425 witnessing a record Rs 4.3 trillion in equity issuance, including Rs 1.7 trillion via IPOs. "This growth is powered not just by policy and infrastructure, but by deepening investor trust," she said. Additionally, she spoke on the importance of capital markets in India's clean energy journey. "As India undertakes its green transition, the role of capital markets and particularly alternative investment funds (AIFs) will be critical. Financing long-gestation sectors like grid modernisation, storage, and transmission requires patient and risk-tolerant capital. Sebi has already enabled blended finance structures, allowing philanthropic and multilateral capital to invest through junior units in AIFs. This is a vital step in unlocking capital for the energy transition," she said. Also, she stressed that India's clean energy transition cannot be driven by listed companies alone and AIFs must play a key role in driving ESG adoption among unlisted investee companies, especially as 40 per cent of AIF capital comes from foreign investors who expect alignment with global disclosure standards. "We are open to proposals for ESG-labelled AIF categories, and we believe well-structured tax incentives can further catalyse investment into sectors with long-term impact and higher risk profiles," she said. Looking to the future, she noted, "India will need an estimated $250 billion by 2030 to finance renewable energy, storage, and transmission. Sebi remains committed to enabling this transformation by providing regulatory clarity, reducing policy risk, and supporting innovative investment structures. Our goal is to ensure that India's capital markets continue to serve not just as engines of growth, but also as platforms for building a sustainable, future-ready economy.

SBI operations to shift from Kolkata; civil organisation urges WB CM to intervene

KOLKATA: Expressing concern over the State Bank of India's decision to shift its Global Market Unit (GMU), Central Global Back Office (CGBO) and three processing centres from Kolkata, a civil society organisation 'Bank Bachao Desh Bachao Manch' on Tuesday written to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, seeking her intervention to stop this move. Alleging that this move would threaten over 600 jobs and risks a Rs 25 crore annual GST loss to the state, the organisation in its letter to the Chief Minister said, 'This arbitrary move directly violates the tripartite agreement signed on 13 March 2008 between the bank management and both the officers' and staff federations regarding the Global Marketing Unit. That agreement clearly stated that the forex treasury would continue to operate from GMU Kolkata. In 2015, this office was created to decentralise critical work and to strengthen the role of Kolkata in handling global banking operations.' The letter also mentioned, 'Nearly 150 permanent staff and over 200 casual employees will lose their jobs if these departments are shifted. More than six hundred families will be directly affected. The Goods and Services Tax contribution of these units is estimated to be Rs 25 crore every year. This will be a direct loss to the exchequer of the Government of West Bengal.' The Manch urged the Chief Minister to intervene and take up the matter directly with the State Bank of India top management and the Department of Financial Services for immediate steps to halt the relocation, implement the bank's past commitment to restore 50 per cent of forex operations to Kolkata and bring back the Income Tax and Government Accounts sections, among others, to Kolkata. However, the SBI has recently stated that decisions regarding the opening, shifting, or rationalisation of branches and offices are part of an ongoing business process based on evolving operational and administrative needs.
