Investing in an Irish-Domiciled, LSE-Listed S&P 500 ETF (CSPX) from India: The Complete Guide
Most Indian investors who want S&P 500 exposure think of the domestic fund route first: a Motilal Oswal or ICICI Prudential fund-of-funds that wraps an overseas ETF in a domestic mutual fund structure. Fewer know that there is a more direct, lower-cost alternative that is fully accessible under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme: buying an Irish-domiciled, London Stock Exchange-listed UCITS ETF that tracks the S&P 500 directly. The most prominent example is the iShares Core S&

Should You Use Zerodha? A Comprehensive Review for 2026
Before Zerodha, stockbroking in India was a business built on information asymmetry and high commissions. Full-service brokers charged 0.50 to 1.00 percent per trade, earned from research products most retail clients did not read, and provided a service that was expensive enough to discourage the kind of frequent, independent investing that compounding requires. Zerodha, founded in 2010 by Nithin Kamath and Nikhil Kamath, changed this in a single move: it offered flat-fee bro
