About
This Invesco ETF seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Universal Select Business Screens Index (the "Reference Index"), after accounting for management fees. The Reference Index primarily comprises large and mid-capitalization companies in developed Pacific nations, excluding Japan. Its design incorporates an investment strategy that adjusts the proportional weighting of constituent companies based on specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. This methodology aims to enhance exposure to firms that not only exhibit robust ESG credentials but also demonstrate a positive trajectory in improving their ESG standing. The Reference Index is formed by first drawing from the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Index, then systematically removing securities that: 1) have not received an ESG assessment or rating from MSCI; 2) have been implicated in severe ESG-related controversies within the last three years; 3) hold a low MSCI ESG Rating of CCC; or 4) are involved in controversial, conventional, or nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, oil sands, thermal coal, tobacco, or recreational cannabis. Following this screening, each eligible security is given a comprehensive ESG score by MSCI, reflecting both its current ESG rating and the historical trend of that rating. These composite ESG scores are then utilized to proportionally re-weight the qualifying securities within the Reference Index. The index is rebalanced every six months. Additional information on MSCI ESG Ratings is available through their published resources. This ETF employs a passive management approach, meaning an investment represents the acquisition of units in an index-tracking fund, rather than direct ownership of the underlying assets held by the fund.

Is ESPS a UCITS ETF?

Is ESPS subject to US estate tax?
No. Because ESPS 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 ESPS?
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 ESPS 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 ESPS performed?
ESPS' price is up 9.7% over the past year and up 39.0% over five years. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is ESPS different from a US-listed ETF?
ESPS 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.
