$FLXI (+0.71%) After holding off for a while, I’m diving into India’s market with the Franklin FTSE India ETF (FLIN). India ETFs were overvalued in recent years due to high P/E ratios, but recent corrections make them more attractive. I’m not a buy-and-hold investor—I prefer the volatility of stocks and crypto trading. Still, India could be a long-term anchor in my portfolio given its strong position in today’s market.
Why India?
- 🇺🇸🇨🇳 US-China trade tensions are escalating, with 26% tariffs on Chinese imports (Jan 2025).
- 🇮🇳 India has been actively negotiating trade deals with the Trump administration since Jan 2025.
- 🇮🇳 Elon Musk visited India in Apr 2024, signaling Tesla’s interest in manufacturing.
- 🇮🇳 Apple has been producing advanced iPhones in India since 2016, with plans to make 25% of its iPhones there.
- 🇮🇳 India’s 1.44 billion population and low wage levels drive its economic potential.
These are just a few reasons, and anyone researching India will see the trend. Despite short-term risks like foreign investor outflows, India’s growth story looks solid. #Investing #India #ETF
