What would be the impact on an International fund investing in US stocks when the US Dollar appreciates against Indian Rupee?

Practice question from Nism VA Mock Test 5 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. The NAV of the scheme in Indian Rupees will appreciate

    Correct answer

  2. B

    The NAV of the scheme in Indian Rupees will depreciate

  3. C

    No impact on the fund as its investing in stocks and not currency

Why this is the answer

If the US Dollar appreciates against the Indian Rupee, the value of the international investment in US stocks will increase in terms of Indian Rupees, thus causing the NAV of the scheme to appreciate. This occurs because the Indian investor is holding an asset denominated in US Dollars, so the value of the investment in rupee terms rises when the dollar strengthens.
