Is UTIL a UCITS ETF?
Yes. State Street SPDR MSCI Europe Utilities UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland, set up under the European Union's UCITS rules for funds sold across Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment and trades in EUR.
What are UTIL's largest holdings?
The top three are Iberdrola SA (22.0%), Enel SpA (11.6%) and National Grid plc (11.3%). UTIL's 10 largest positions make up 78.8% of the fund.
Is UTIL subject to US estate tax?
No. Because UTIL 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 UTIL?
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 UTIL 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 UTIL performed?
UTIL's price is up 23.4% over the past year and up 79.8% over five years. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is UTIL different from a US-listed ETF?
UTIL 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.
