Indian families keep a smaller share of their holdings abroad than families in comparable global markets, according to Prithipal Singh.
A gap in international exposure
Singh said Indian families hold just 14% abroad, while the corresponding share for global peers is between 30% and 40%. The comparison places Indian families well below the range cited for families in other markets.
The figures frame the discussion around Indian families going global and the level of international exposure in their holdings. The difference between the two groups is at least 16 percentage points at the lower end of the global-peer range.
Why the comparison matters
The figures provide a simple measure of how much Indian families keep outside the country compared with their global counterparts. Singh's observation draws attention to the relatively lower overseas allocation among Indian families.
