Why invest in CU2U from India
What CU2U holds
The Amundi PEA MSCI USA ESG Selection UCITS ETF - USD is engineered to closely mirror the financial performance of the MSCI USA ESG Selection P-Series 5% Issuer Capped Index, accurately reflecting its movements whether markets are rising or falling. A key aim is to keep the "tracking error" – the discrepancy between the Sub-Fund's net asset value and the Index's returns – as minimal as possible.
Outside US estate tax
CU2U 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
CU2U 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 CU2U's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
CU2U 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 is the expense ratio of CU2U?

Is CU2U a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell CU2U?
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.
