The medal was awarded to Mr Ambani at a function here in recognition of his “visionary leadership” in the application of engineering and technology for the betterment of mankind. .

“The medal is an acknowledgement for Ambani’s ingenuity and initiative to usher in Reliance’s vertical integration journey from textiles into fibers, petrochemicals, petroleum refining and eventually oil and gas exploration and production. Today, Reliance is a global leader in polyester, petrochemicals and refining, including the world’s largest petroleum refinery complex at Jamnagar. His vision of energy security for India was realized through an aggressive exploration program which resulted in the world’s largest gas discovery in the year 2002.

Mukesh Ambani embodies what the engineering profession can contribute to a country, as someone who seeks to apply technology for the betterment of society,” Mr Glandt said.

Mr Ambani said in his acceptance speech that he would treasure this medal. “It is much more than the recognition of the modest contribution as a chemical engineer from India.

I dedicate this Medal to the indomitable spirit of our founder chairman, Dhirubhai Ambani and each and every member of the Reliance family,” he said.

Foreign bond funds are ideal for investors seeking income and diversification. Foreign bond funds, as their name suggests, invest in bonds that pay their interest and principal in a currency other your home currency. Foreign government and corporations issue these bonds.

A foreign bond receives interest and generates income for investors, just like a domestic bond. It will fluctuate in value - declining when interest rates go up, and increasing when interest rate go down. Foreign bonds will also increase and decrease in value when their currency changes relative to your home currency. Investors should consider foreign bonds as an excellent investment alternative.

Why are foreign bond funds worth considering? They offer excellent diversification and return potential. 1. Foreign bonds funds are poorly correlated with other investment categories.Thus, foreign bonds make a great addition to a portfolio; they ill reduce the risk and provide opportunities to adjust your investment mix between bonds and equities.

2. Foreign bond funds are unique because they have the ability to invest throughout the world. To find bonds with higher returns investors should consider foreign bonds, which do offer higher returns than their domestic counterparts.

3. Changes in currency can boost returns. Since foreign bond funds invest in bonds of other countries, they will in turn invest in other currencies. This risk and opportunity is higher for foreign bonds because a larger portion of the bond’s return is derived from changes in currency. A good foreign bond manager will add value in the fund by capitalizing on both currency and bond opportunities.
