Why invest in AGGA from India

What AGGA holds

The EA Astoria Dynamic Core US Fixed Income ETF (AGGA) proactively manages its primary fixed income holdings by utilizing third-party exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with investment decisions guided by thorough macroeconomic analysis. Its holdings can encompass a broad spectrum of fixed income instruments, including U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and high-yield bonds, spanning all durations.

Hold a dollar asset

AGGA 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.

Buy a fraction of a unit

Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one AGGA unit. There is no minimum trade size.

US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.

A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.
