SUD Life Unveils Global Investment Fund in GIFT City

Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (SUD Life) has introduced the SUD Life GIFT Global Opportunity Maximizer Fund under its International Wealth Creator insurance plan, as per news reports.  

The fund is offered through Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) and is structured to allow policyholders to invest in overseas assets from India’s IFSC framework. 

Investment Scope 

The Global Opportunity Maximizer Fund invests across international equities and commodities. It allows exposure to both developed and emerging markets, depending on prevailing global conditions.  

The fund operates as a market-linked option within an insurance plan and carries higher risk compared with domestic-oriented investment funds. 

Subscription Window and Access 

The subscription period for the fund is open until December 22, 2025. It is available to Resident Indians, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs). Investments are made through SUD Life’s IFSC Insurance Office in GIFT City and are denominated in foreign currency. 

Placement within the Wealth Plan 

The Global Opportunity Maximizer Fund is part of the International Wealth Creator Plan, which offers several international investment choices.  

Other funds under the plan provide exposure to US equities, global equities, US government securities, emerging market debt, commodities, and an India-focused fund routed through GIFT City. Policyholders can choose among these options based on investment preference. 

GIFT City Operations 

SUD Life operates an IFSC Insurance Office in GIFT City to offer insurance-linked investment products to domestic and overseas customers. The office enables the company to provide foreign currency-denominated products under the regulatory framework applicable to international financial services centres.
