About
The Invesco MSCI USA Universal Screened UCITS ETF GBP Hdg Acc aims to replicate the net total return performance of its benchmark, the MSCI USA Universal Select Business Screens Index, after accounting for fees. Its GBP Hedged Acc share class actively manages currency risk, employing foreign exchange transactions to minimize the impact of US Dollar and British Pound fluctuations. This underlying index focuses on large and mid-capitalisation US companies, employing an investment strategy that adjusts constituent weightings based on specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics. The aim is to increase exposure to firms demonstrating not only a strong current ESG profile but also a positive trend in improving their ESG credentials. The index is constructed by screening the broader MSCI USA Index, excluding securities that: lack an MSCI ESG assessment; have faced severe ESG controversies in the past three years; possess an MSCI ESG Rating of CCC; or are involved in controversial weapons, conventional weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, oil sands, thermal coal, tobacco, or recreational cannabis. Eligible securities then receive a comprehensive ESG score, which integrates their current MSCI ESG rating with the observed trend of that rating over time. These scores are subsequently used to re-weight constituents within the index. The fund achieves its objective through physical replication, endeavoring to acquire and hold all index securities in their respective proportions as far as possible. It is rebalanced in conjunction with the index's semi-annual reviews and adjustments. This ETF is passively managed, meaning an investment represents units in the index-tracking fund, not direct ownership of the underlying assets.

Is ESPB subject to US estate tax?
No. Because ESPB is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it. US-listed ETFs held directly can be taxed at up to 40% above $60,000 when they pass to your family.
How are US dividends taxed inside ESPB?
The US withholds 15% on dividends from the US shares the fund holds, and that tax is paid inside the fund. You cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
How are gains on ESPB taxed in India?
Units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation; units held for 24 months or less are taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is worked out in rupees, so the currency move counts.
How has ESPB performed?
ESPB's price is up 15.7% over the past year. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is ESPB different from a US-listed ETF?
ESPB is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US. That keeps it outside US estate tax, and dividend withholding on its US shares is 15%, paid inside the fund, instead of the 25% withheld on a US-listed ETF. The 25% can generally be claimed as a credit in India; the 15% cannot. Capital gains on both are taxed the same way in India.
