Why invest in AGED from India
What AGED holds
The Fund seeks to track the performance of an index composed of developed and emerging market companies which are generating significant revenues from the growing needs of the worlds ageing population (defined as people aged 60 years and above).
Outside US estate tax
AGED is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
AGED is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
Paasa handles the paperwork
Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.
Why AGED's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
AGED is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

What is the expense ratio of AGED?
iShares Ageing Population UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.4% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $894.6M.
Is AGED a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. iShares Ageing Population UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it. On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell AGED?
In India, gains on foreign ETF units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and gains on units held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the USD/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
