India, 11 June 2026: SAMCO Securities, a leading investment technology platform, today announced the launch of its Global Investing offering following the grant of a broker-dealer licence by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) from GIFT City, Gandhinagar. This approval will enable Indian investors to invest in US-listed stocks and ETFs through SAMCO Trading App of SAMCO Securities, a regulated, research-backed platform powered through GIFT City.
The launch comes at a time when interest in global investing is growing rapidly among Indian investors. While access to international markets has become easier, one fundamental challenge remains: investors can own almost any stock in the world, but very few platforms help them identify which opportunities are worth investing in. SAMCO aims to bridge this gap by combining global market access with institutional-grade research and investment guidance.
The need for global diversification has become increasingly relevant amid rising geopolitical uncertainty, rupee depreciation, and concentration risk in domestic portfolios. India accounts for just ~3% of global market capitalisation, leaving investors underexposed to many of the world’s largest wealth-creating businesses and sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, biotechnology and cybersecurity, which have limited representation in Indian markets.
Despite growing awareness, a significant gap remains between investor aspiration and action. While many investors express interest in building global portfolios, actual participation remains low due to lack of research, guidance and confidence in evaluating international opportunities. SAMCO’s Global Investing platform seeks to address these barriers by making informed global investing accessible to everyday investors.
Unlike platforms that offer only market access, SAMCO Securities’ solution integrates quantitative research, investment recommendations, target prices, stop-loss frameworks and portfolio monitoring. The platform provides research coverage on more than 700 global securities, including constituents of the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and over 100 ETFs. Investors can start with fractional ownership from as low as $1 and complete onboarding digitally through the existing SAMCO app under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS).
Commenting on the launch, Jimeet Modi, Founder & CEO, SAMCO Group, said: “Prudent investing has never been about choosing one market over another, it has always been about diversification. At SAMCO, we believe global investing should be driven by research, not speculation. Through our platform, investors will have
access to research coverage on more than 700 global securities, including S&P 500 companies, NASDAQ 100 constituents and over 100 ETFs. Many of these companies are driving the world’s structural transformation in AI, Biotechnology and energy are listed outside India. Our objective is to empower Indian investors with both access and conviction, enabling them to build globally diversified portfolios with confidence.”
Ulhas Joshi, CEO, SAMCO Securities, said: “The world continues to create and compound wealth through globally dominant businesses, yet a large majority of Indian household savings remain concentrated in domestic assets. We see global investing not as a trend, but as an essential component of modern portfolio construction. By combining regulated access, seamless execution and actionable research, we are making global investing simpler, more informed and more accessible for Indian investors.”
