Why invest in CSWU from India
What CSWU holds
This Amundi MSCI Switzerland UCITS ETF is designed to precisely track the financial performance of the MSCI Switzerland Index, faithfully reflecting its movements regardless of market direction. It provides investors with an efficient method to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 40 prominent Swiss companies via a singular transaction.
Outside US estate tax
CSWU is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
CSWU 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.
Why CSWU's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
CSWU is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell CSWU?
In India, gains on foreign ETF units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and gains on units held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. 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.
