Im considering moving funds to India fixed deposit just to offset some risk from the falling Ringgit. Their rates in general are quite good. HSBC India for instance offers 7.5% per annum for a 90 day tenure fixed deposit placement. But getting money out of Malaysia will be an issue.
Reducing risk by moving funds from MYR to INR?On a round trip you'll be losing out 5-6% on converting currency alone, is converting to INR really mitigating any risk?
If you have 200K+ open HSBC Premier account and ask them to assist opening an Indian account for you (may be possible without an address, haven't tried)
There's US listed products (ETN such as SPCBINR) which would give you INR exposure
I hardly see this as reducing risk, USD possibly ... not INR .. FIY, IDR has similar FD rates
