Concept:
- Foreign portfolio investment (FPI) consists of securities and other financial assets held by investors in another country.
- It does not provide the investor with direct ownership of a company’s assets and is relatively liquid depending on the volatility of the market.
- FPI holdings can include stocks, depository receipts, bonds, mutual funds, and exchange traded funds
