India Offers Diversifier Against AI-Driven Equities
Global fund managers are shifting allocations to Indian equities for 2026, citing low correlation with the AI trade, Bloomberg reported on December 15, 2025. Firms including Aberdeen, Principal, Eastspring, HSBC and Jefferies point to consumption-led growth, bank and consumer sector leadership, and supportive policy, while Amazon and Microsoft pledged $52 billion of investment into India. Investors see India as a hedge if AI-driven tech volatility peaks.
