Why invest in AGGG from India

What AGGG holds

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index.

Outside US estate tax

AGGG 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

AGGG 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 AGGG's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors

AGGG 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.
