| ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund said it will resume subscriptions in three of its international schemes from 27 January 2026, while imposing investment caps to manage overseas exposure.
The fund house said fresh and additional investments in ICICI Prudential US Bluechip Equity Fund, ICICI Prudential NASDAQ 100 Index Fund, and ICICI Prudential Strategic Metal and Energy Equity Fund of Fund will be capped at Rs 2 lakh per PAN per month per scheme. The limit will apply across all modes, including lumpsum investments, switches, SIPs and STPs.
For systematic investments, the AMC has set per-PAN limits based on frequency, with daily SIP or STP capped at Rs 10,000, weekly at Rs 50,000, fortnightly SIP at Rs 1 lakh, monthly SIP or STP at Rs 2 lakh, and quarterly SIP or STP at Rs 6 lakh. These limits will apply only to fresh subscriptions or new systematic registrations, while existing SIP and STP instalments will continue without restrictions.
The fund house said it may consider suspending further subscriptions if the available overseas investment limit under any scheme approaches the regulatory cap.
The move follows earlier restrictions imposed after Sebi directed mutual funds to halt fresh overseas investments as the industry-wide overseas investment limit was nearing exhaustion.
