replaced Indonesia as the <strong>least-preferred stock market in Asia<\/strong> a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/markets\/news\/india-replaces-indonesia-as-asia-s-least-preferred-stock-market-bofa-poll-126081900560_1.html\">mong global fund managers<\/a>, according to

and the pace of reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey found that <strong>32% of fund managers were net underweight on Indian equities<\/strong>, signalling that a significant portion of global investors are allocating less to Indian stocks than their benchmark weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lack Of AI Exposure Is The Biggest Concern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest concerns highlighted by investors is India&#8217;s relatively limited exposure to the global artificial intelligence boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While technology companies in markets such as Taiwan, South Korea and the US are benefiting directly from huge investments in AI infrastructure, chips and software, India&#8217;s stock market has comparatively less exposure to these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has become increasingly important as AI-related companies and semiconductor businesses drive a significant portion of global equity-market returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For international investors looking for direct exposure to the AI growth cycle, India is therefore appearing less attractive than some of its Asian peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weak Economic Growth Adds To The Pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weak growth expectations have emerged as another major concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although India continues to be one of the world&#8217;s fastest-growing major economies, investors are increasingly looking at whether corporate earnings and economic activity can justify the premium valuations attached to Indian stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of slower growth expectations and expensive valuations can make the market less attractive compared with countries offering cheaper stocks and stronger near-term earnings potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indian Stocks Are Considered Expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valuations remain another major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian equities have historically traded at a premium to many emerging markets because investors have been willing to pay more for India&#8217;s long-term growth prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that premium becomes harder to justify when earnings growth slows or other Asian markets begin offering stronger returns at lower valuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fund managers are therefore increasingly questioning whether Indian stocks currently provide enough upside to compensate for their relatively high prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>32% Of Fund Managers Are Underweight India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest survey showed that <strong>32% of respondents were net underweight on Indian equities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, more fund managers are allocating less money to Indian stocks than they would normally allocate based on their benchmark portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey included <strong>98 fund managers managing around $272 billion in assets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their views therefore provide an important snapshot of how international institutional investors currently perceive the Indian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indonesia Has Become More Attractive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s position as the least-preferred market comes partly because sentiment towards Indonesia has improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The percentage of fund managers who were net underweight on Indonesian equities fell to <strong>27%<\/strong>, compared with 32% in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That improvement was enough for Indonesia to move ahead of India in investor preference rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change does not necessarily mean investors have suddenly become highly bullish on Indonesia. Instead, it shows that sentiment towards India has weakened relative to other markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taiwan And Japan Remain The Favourites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the other end of the ranking, <strong>Taiwan and Japan remain the most-preferred markets<\/strong> among investors surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taiwan continues to benefit from its dominant position in the global semiconductor and AI supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan, meanwhile, has attracted investor interest because of structural changes in corporate governance, improving shareholder returns and a stronger economic outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Korea has also benefited from strong investor interest as technology and semiconductor stocks continue to perform well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>India&#8217;s Market Performance Has Been Weak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investor pessimism comes after a difficult period for Indian equities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benchmark Nifty 50 has fallen by around <strong>8% in 2026 so far<\/strong>, while several other major Asian markets have delivered significantly stronger returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taiwanese and South Korean equity benchmarks have gained more than 50% this year, while Japan&#8217;s market has also recorded a substantial rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance gap has made India&#8217;s relatively expensive valuations even more noticeable to global investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Foreign Investors Have Been Selling Indian Stocks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign institutional investors have also been a major source of pressure on Indian equities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large-scale selling by overseas investors has weighed on benchmark indices and contributed to the market&#8217;s underperformance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are signs that the selling pressure may not continue indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global funds bought more than $4 billion worth of Indian stocks during the latest quarter, according to data cited in reports on the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That suggests international investors have not completely abandoned India despite their increasingly cautious positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Corporate Earnings Are Actually Improving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the more interesting aspects of the current situation is that India&#8217;s corporate earnings are not necessarily moving in the same direction as investor sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earnings for companies in the Nifty 50 rose by around <strong>18% year-on-year in the latest three-month period<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is considerably stronger than the earnings growth that some analysts had expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the bearish investor sentiment is not simply a reflection of collapsing corporate profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, investors appear to be focusing more heavily on valuations, future growth prospects and India&#8217;s limited participation in some of the world&#8217;s fastest-growing technology themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High Oil Prices Are Another Risk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising crude oil prices are also creating additional concerns for investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India imports a large proportion of its crude oil requirements, meaning higher global oil prices can increase the country&#8217;s import bill and put pressure on inflation, the current account and the rupee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With geopolitical tensions keeping energy markets uncertain, investors are watching India&#8217;s exposure to higher oil prices closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A prolonged period of expensive crude could further complicate India&#8217;s growth and inflation outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Rupee Is Adding To Investor Concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currency performance is another factor affecting foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a global fund manager, returns are ultimately measured in their home currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if an Indian stock performs reasonably well in rupee terms, a significant decline in the rupee can reduce the return when converted back into dollars or other currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of weaker equity performance and currency pressure therefore makes Indian assets less attractive to some international investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This Is Not A Verdict On India&#8217;s Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being Asia&#8217;s least-preferred stock market does not mean investors believe India&#8217;s economy is fundamentally weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India continues to have several long-term advantages, including a large domestic market, strong digital infrastructure, expanding manufacturing capabilities and relatively high economic growth compared with many developed economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey is primarily about <strong>relative attractiveness of equity markets<\/strong>, rather than a judgement on India&#8217;s overall economic prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors can remain positive about India&#8217;s long-term growth while believing that Indian stocks are currently too expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Bigger Problem Is Relative Value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This distinction is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question for international investors is not simply whether India will grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is whether Indian stocks will generate better risk-adjusted returns than stocks in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, China or other markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If another market offers cheaper valuations, stronger earnings momentum or greater exposure to AI, investors may move money away from India even while remaining positive about India&#8217;s long-term economic story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Could Sentiment Turn Around?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investor sentiment towards India could improve if several factors move in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stronger economic growth, continued earnings expansion, lower valuations, faster reforms and greater participation in the global AI and technology ecosystem could all make Indian equities more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A decline in crude oil prices and greater currency stability could also remove some of the macroeconomic pressure currently facing investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s strong domestic investor base provides another important source of support for the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>India&#8217;s AI Challenge Is Becoming More Important<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI issue may ultimately prove to be one of the most important findings from the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global markets are increasingly rewarding companies that directly benefit from artificial intelligence infrastructure, semiconductors, data centres and AI software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India has a large technology-services industry, but relatively fewer listed companies have direct exposure to the most profitable parts of the AI value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leaves Indian equities with less participation in one of the strongest investment themes currently driving global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Warning Sign For Indian Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India becoming Asia&#8217;s least-preferred stock market is therefore an important warning sign for investors and policymakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does not mean India&#8217;s growth story is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, it highlights the growing gap between India&#8217;s economic potential and the near-term return expectations of global equity investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With valuations still elevated and competition from other Asian markets intensifying, Indian companies may need stronger earnings growth to justify their premium valuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For investors, the message is straightforward: <strong>India remains a major long-term growth story, but global fund managers are currently finding better risk-reward opportunities elsewhere in Asia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India has replaced Indonesia as Asia&#8217;s least-preferred stock market among global fund managers, according to Bank of America&#8217;s August 2026 survey. Around 32% of respondents are net underweight on Indian equities, citing limited AI exposure, weak growth expectations, high valuations and insufficient reforms. Indonesia improved to 27% net underweight, while Taiwan and Japan remained the most-preferred markets. India&#8217;s Nifty 50 is down around 8% this year despite corporate earnings improving. The survey suggests that global investors remain interested in India&#8217;s long-term growth but are increasingly concerned that current valuations do not offer enough near-term returns compared with other Asian markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign Investors Are Growing More Cautious On Indian Equities India has replaced Indonesia as the least-preferred stock market in Asia among global fund managers, according to Bank of America&#8217;s latest fund manager survey.
