Why invest in CNAA from India
What CNAA holds
This UCITS-compliant Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) from Amundi aims to mirror the performance of the MSCI China A Net Total Return Index. The underlying index focuses on large and mid-capitalization A-shares from China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, exclusively featuring those securities available via the Stock Connect scheme.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from CNAA'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
CNAA 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.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell CNAA?

Both are worked out in rupees at the USD/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
