International mutual funds reopen selectively as overseas limits constrain investments

International mutual funds: Check fresh SIP and lump sum investment options; one PGIM scheme to reopen on October 8 · livemint.com

Some international mutual funds are allowing investors to add money, while others are not.

Baroda BNP Paribas Aqua FoF currently accepts both lump-sum investments and new SIPs.

Three Invesco funds accept new SIPs but not lump-sum investments or switch-ins.

The Invesco funds have a combined daily SIP limit of ₹10 lakh for each PAN.

PGIM India Global Select Real Estate Securities FoF is expected to accept lump-sum investments again on 8 October.

It will not accept new SIP registrations at that time, although existing SIPs can continue.

These changes happen because Indian mutual funds have limits on how much they can invest overseas.

Funds can reopen when redemptions or falling overseas asset values create additional capacity.
