Aberdeen India Fund, a CEF that focuses on around 50 Indian stocks, has faced a rough 15 months, but I am prepared to turn cautiously optimistic on it now. Renewed foreign portfolio inflows, regulatory reforms, a wider-than-normal 9.5% discount to NAV, and a boost in its managed distribution policy all enhance the bull case. The risk-reward on the long-term charts too looks enticing, with IFN showing some signs of stabilization in recent months.

IFN, an ETF focused on Indian equities, has significantly underperformed the S&P 500, risk-free US returns, and even Indian benchmarks on a currency-adjusted basis. The recent energy spikes have resulted in further pressure on domestic equities and the currency. Elevated oil prices directly affect the current account balance, along with an impact on GDP. IFN is rated as a sell, rising energy prices act as a negative for equities while persistent currency depreciation erodes USD-denominated returns, making broad-based Indian equity exposure unattractive for now.
