With stock funds being a risky investment and bond funds the safer one, investing half in each of them were considered to be the right way of investing. However, the year 2012 is not going to be a good one for investing in bonds and stock fund anymore, as it is more of a risk than an investment.

USA has slipped to the fourth position as a destination for FDI. There are various reasons for multinational companies opening their offices in India.

India had a restraining policy towards FDI for a long time, which resulted in less number of companies showing an interest in investing in the Indian market. The scene has changed since 1991 with the liberalization policy of the Indian Government and from then on till now, they are making every effort to woo foreign investment by easing their policies. This has resulted in many foreign companies showing interest in the Indian market. Some of the investment strategies of companies include widening its jurisdiction of work beyond their country, which brings a lot of profit to them. This is the case of the MNC’s who are settled in India. Other than the foreign direct investment in India, the market competition, the labor market competitiveness and the highly stable economy have influenced the foreign companies to invest here. The benefits that developing countries like India get from foreign MNCs investing here include lessening the technology gap, the natural resources are utilized in the best way, the foreign exchange gap is lessened, can begin a greater level of investment and enhancing the fundamental economic structure. The global FDI is all set to rise to USD 1.6-2.0 trillion in 2012. About the Author: Harjeet is an Indian - born mass-market novelist, who covers the world internet related topics .
