Is SEMD subject to US estate tax?
No. Because SEMD 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.
Is SEMD accumulating or distributing?
Distributing. It pays dividends out to you in cash, taxed at your slab rate in India.
How are US dividends taxed inside SEMD?
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.

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 SEMD performed?
SEMD's price is up 7.3% over the past year and up 4.1% over five years. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is SEMD different from a US-listed ETF?
SEMD 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.
