Why invest in CORP from India
What CORP holds
PIMCO ETF Trust - PIMCO Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index Exchange-Traded Fund is an exchange traded fund launched and managed by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC. The fund invests in the fixed income markets of the United States.
Hold a dollar asset
CORP 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.
Buy a fraction of a unit
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one CORP unit. There is no minimum trade size.
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.
