Why invest in AGGD from India

What AGGD holds

The core purpose of this Fund is to generate an investment return for shareholders, combining both growth in capital and distributed income. This return is achieved by mirroring the financial performance of its designated benchmark, the Bloomberg MSCI Global Aggregate Green Bond ESG SRI Index.

Outside US estate tax

AGGD 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

AGGD 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 AGGD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors

AGGD is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.
