The US ETFs to Buy for the long term is a recommendation category designed for investors who want exposure to global markets through US-listed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Instead of investing in individual companies, ETFs allow you to invest in a basket of securities that track an index, sector, commodity, or even an entire region.

The US ETF market is the largest and most sophisticated ETF ecosystem in the world, offering access to thousands of funds that track everything from the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to gold, bonds, emerging markets, and even global sector themes like artificial intelligence and robotics.

For Indian investors, this is particularly powerful because accessing the US ETF market effectively means getting exposure to the entire world. Through a single ETF, you may gain exposure to hundreds of companies across multiple countries and industries.

 

This category is ideal for:

Investors looking to diversify beyond Indian equities

Those who prefer lower risk compared to individual stocks

Investors who want exposure to global sectors, commodities, and international markets

Long-term investors seeking a structured global allocation strategy

Mutual Fund investors who want to diversify beyond Indian stocks 

People who want to protect themselves from rupee depreciation. Ex parents of students studying abroad, importers, frequent travellers

If you are new to international investing and unsure where to begin, US ETFs provides a simple and diversified starting point.

 

The US ETF market has grown tremendously because ETFs combine diversification, transparency, and liquidity in a single investment instrument.

Unlike buying individual stocks, where returns depend on the success of one company, ETFs track a basket of assets. For example:

An ETF tracking the S&P 500 provides exposure to 500 of the largest US companies

A technology ETF gives access to leading global tech innovators

 A global ETF may track companies across multiple countries and continents

In essence, the US ETF ecosystem allows investors to participate in global economic growth through one market gateway.

Our recommendation process identifies ETFs using a scientific framework that evaluates macro trends, sector momentum, liquidity flows, and price behaviour. Instead of chasing short-term noise, the strategy focuses on identifying ETFs positioned to benefit from multi-year global themes.

 

Each ETF recommendation in this category is intended to be held for approximately two years. This longer holding period allows investors to benefit from structural global trends rather than reacting to short-term volatility in international markets.

There is also an important tax advantage for Indian investors. When investing in US-listed ETFs through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), gains are generally treated as capital gains under Indian tax rules. Holding the investment for more than 24 months qualifies it as a long-term capital asset, which can result in more favourable taxation compared to short-term gains.

You can expect about two recommendations per month. Since This longer horizon allows investors to benefit from structural global trends rather than reacting to short-term volatility. New recommendations are shared periodically when strong opportunities arise.

 

You get global diversification through a single market. By investing in US ETFs, you are not just accessing American companies. You are gaining exposure to global industries, international economies, commodities, bonds and worldwide investment themes.

For Indian investors who want to build a globally diversified portfolio, this category provides a structured and disciplined approach.

Instead of guessing which country, sector, or company will outperform, you participate in carefully selected ETFs backed by a scientific recommendation process designed to identify long-term opportunities in the world’s most dynamic markets.

In simple terms, US ETFs act as a gateway to the global investment universe — allowing you to diversify smarter and invest beyond borders.

Overview

"Stocks to Buy for a Week" is designed for traders who want to act quickly but don’t want the pressure of making decisions within minutes or hours. It focuses on short-term equity opportunities that are meant to be held for five trading days. These stocks are selected using a scientific process that combines technical signals like volume spikes, breakouts, and trend confirmation. The aim is to help you benefit from a price move that is expected to play out over a week’s time.

Who Is It For?

This category is well-suited for active but time-conscious traders. It works best for:
• Individuals who check the market daily but can’t track positions minute-by-minute
• Traders who are comfortable holding positions overnight
• Professionals who want to stay engaged in markets with a limited time commitment
• Beginners who want to learn about trading with limited risk and capital

Why It Works?

Short-term price action in stocks is often influenced by technical patterns, sectoral momentum, news catalysts, and investor flows. These factors frequently create 3-5 day bursts of price movement. By using a rules-based approach to capture such moves, the category allows you to act on ideas that have both speed and structure. It reduces randomness and improves the odds of making timely entries and exits.

Time Horizon & Frequency

Holding Period is generally 5 trading days but sometimes we may extend the duration if the stock is really up to something. Who doesn’t like additional returns after all?
These recommendations are published immediately after it meets our criteria during market hours. You can expect most of the recommendations in the first half of the trading day.

What Makes This Category Unique?

It gives you the agility of trading without the stress of intraday volatility. You get time to plan your trades but don’t have to commit capital for weeks or months. It’s perfect for those who want to stay active without being reactive. The scientific selection method further ensures that each stock is backed by a repeatable and data-driven process.
