Continue To Prefer IIF Vs. IFN As Challenging Conditions For Indian Stocks Remain
Investing in Indian stocks via closed end funds like IFN and IIF offers high yields but comes with valuation risks and potential market corrections. IIF has outperformed IFN over various time periods, benefiting from its smaller size and more nimble management, despite trading at a larger discount to NAV. Indian stock market valuations remain high, with local investor enthusiasm potentially waning due to less attractive earnings yields compared to local bonds.

IFN: Selling May Abate, But Don't Get Too Complacent
After three successive years of outperforming global stocks, The India Fund (IFN) is on course to reverse that narrative. Relative to the rest of the globe, India's growth prospects still look alluring, but relative to its own lofty standards, questions may be asked. The INR keeps dropping to record lows every other week, and this may dampen enthusiasm from foreign institutions.

IFN: India Looks Promising, But This May Not Be The Most Ideal CEF
India's ongoing ascendance in the global landscape is supported by a stable political regime, a prudent central bank, a fast-growing economy, and a young and aspirational middle-class. Whilst there are a plethora of ETFs offering pure-play exposure to Indian equities, IFN is only one out of two CEFs that focuses on India. We gauged the relative structures, the distributions, sector exposure, risk-adjusted return track records, discount to NAVs, valuations, and long-term earnings, and feel that IFN comes up short.
