PGIM India, Edelweiss Pause Fresh SIP Instalments in 9 Global Funds From August 2026

PGIM India Mutual Fund is to stop accepting further SIP instalments in three international funds from August 8, 2026. The affected schemes are Global Equity Opportunities, Emerging Markets Equity, and Global Select Real Estate Securities. 

Edelweiss Mutual Fund will follow from August 12, 2026, suspending existing SIPs in six overseas schemes. These include ASEAN Equity, Greater China Equity, US Technology, Emerging Markets Opportunities, Europe Dynamic and US Value. 

Existing Investments Will Remain 

The changes apply to future SIP instalments and not to money already invested in the funds. Existing holdings will continue to remain in the respective schemes. Investors can also redeem their units or switch them to another fund, subject to the applicable scheme terms. 

More Funds Have Faced Similar Restrictions 

The two fund houses join a growing list of asset managers that have stopped existing SIPs in international schemes. SIPs have already been discontinued in 19 other overseas funds across fund houses including Invesco, Motilal Oswal, Axis, Kotak, HDFC and Mirae. 

Around 40 international schemes are still running. However, options for starting a fresh SIP are limited, with Baroda BNP Paribas Aqua currently the only scheme among the identified international funds accepting new registrations. 

Overseas Investment Limit Remains Unchanged 

The restrictions are linked to the limit placed on how much Indian mutual funds can invest overseas. The industry-wide limit has remained unchanged since early 2022, while overseas markets have risen and fund houses have accumulated foreign assets. 

As schemes approach their permitted allocation, fund houses have been limiting fresh investments, including through SIPs. The restrictions from PGIM India and Edelweiss add to the measures already taken across the industry. 

Domestic Funds Still Hold Foreign Stocks 

Investors can also get overseas exposure through some domestic diversified funds. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap and several technology and multi-asset schemes hold foreign equities within their portfolios, although these investments also count towards the industry’s overseas limit.
