(FDI) is by taking a large share in an existing (or new) firm with the intent of steering it towards further development/growth; here the investor's intent is long-term, their commitment requires direct involvement in the firm's activities (often including and/or skills transfer).

This is different in effect from portfolio investment, which is often lost on casual commentators - FDI has direct (and often positive) effects

Leaving aside whether domestic might be better than those from abroad, its always worth distinguishing between portfolio & (FDI).

Portfolio investment is when an investor buys in a firm () as part of a range of investments (hence 'portfolio'); here the investor is (usually) driven by financial metrics & will likely be footloose ; happy to sell if a quick profit can be made on a rising share price or to avoid (further) loses
