Lock in Your USD Returns.
Remove Currency Uncertainty.
Hedging solutions for NRI investors to protect returns from INR volatility and build predictable USD outcomes.
Hedging Doesn't Increase Returns —
It Makes Them Predictable
Performance (INR)
Exchange Rate
Return
When you invest in India as an NRI, your returns depend on two factors: investment performance in INR, and the USD/INR exchange rate at exit. Hedging removes the second uncertainty — giving you a known USD outcome instead of a variable one.
What You Can — and Cannot — Control
This is what you can actively manage and optimize. With the right advisor, research, and portfolio structure, your INR returns are in your control.
This is entirely outside your control. Even the best investment can see its USD returns eroded by an adverse currency move.
How FX Can Erode Your Returns
A strong INR return can become a disappointing USD result without any change in your portfolio.
How Forward Hedging Works
A step-by-step breakdown of how we convert uncertain FX exposure into a fixed, predictable USD outcome.
Invest in India (INR)
You invest capital (e.g., ₹83L ≈ $1M) into mutual funds, PMS, or equities
Project Future INR Value
Estimate expected corpus (e.g., ₹1.17Cr after 3 years at target return)
Lock USD Conversion Rate
Enter a forward contract to convert INR USD at a pre-agreed rate
USD Return is Fixed
At maturity, your USD value is known in advance — regardless of where the currency moves
Hedged vs Unhedged — What Changes?
The investment itself doesn't change. What changes is how predictable your outcome is.
| Metric | Unhedged | Hedged ✦ |
|---|---|---|
| USD Return | Variable — depends on FX at exit | Fixed & Known |
| FX Risk | High | Eliminated |
| Predictability | Low | High |
| Upside if INR strengthens | Yes — benefits | Limited — locked in |
| Downside if INR weakens | High — significant loss | Protected |
