Why invest in CBU2 from India
What CBU2 holds
This fund's primary objective is to deliver overall investment returns, stemming from both an increase in asset value and the income generated from its holdings. It aims to replicate the performance of its designated benchmark, the Bloomberg MSCI Euro Aggregate and Green Bond ESG SRI Index (EUR).
Outside US estate tax
CBU2 is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
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 CBU2's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
CBU2 is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
