Why invest in CJPU from India
What CJPU holds
The investment objective of the Fund is to deliver the net total return performance of the Benchmark Index (being the MSCI Japan Index), less the fees and expenses of the Fund.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from CJPU'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
CJPU 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.
