Valuation Insights and Future Outlook<\/h3>\n

According to S. Naren, Chief Investment Officer at ICICI Prudential AMC, global valuations still provide pockets of opportunity. He emphasized that many emerging markets, such as Korea, Brazil, Taiwan, and China, are trading at cheap valuations and have underperformed India over the past decade and a half.
This suggests potential room for growth in global equities, particularly as investors diversify beyond India\u2019s high-valued markets.<\/p>\n
