Why invest in CBU3 from India
What CBU3 holds
This investment vehicle's primary objective is to replicate the financial performance of an underlying benchmark index. This index is exclusively comprised of government debt instruments, specifically those issued by the United States Treasury and denominated in US Dollars.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from CBU3's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Hold a dollar asset
CBU3 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.
