Why invest in CBUG from India
What CBUG holds
The Fund endeavors to match the financial performance of a specific index, which is comprised of US dollar-denominated sovereign debt issued by the U.S. Treasury.
Outside US estate tax
CBUG is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from CBUG's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
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.
