How to invest in CZA from India

  1. Step 1

    Open your Paasa account

    KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.

  2. Step 2

    Add funds from your Indian bank account

    Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit.

  3. Step 3

    Search CZA and buy

    Find the fund by its ticker, CZA, on NYSE Arca, and place your order. Fractional units are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount.

Why invest in CZA from India

What CZA holds

The Invesco Zacks Mid-Cap ETF (Fund) is designed to track the performance of the Zacks Mid-Cap Core Index (Index). A minimum of 90% of the Fund's total assets will be allocated to the securities comprising its underlying Index.

Dividends reinvested for you

Dividends from CZA'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

CZA 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 CZA 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.

Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US ETFs? Here's what US estate tax means for you.

US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.

A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy CZA from India?

Yes. Indian residents can buy Invesco Zacks Mid- ETF (CZA) through Paasa. It is listed on NYSE Arca and trades in US dollars. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and the units are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

What does CZA invest in?

What is the expense ratio of CZA?

Does CZA pay dividends?

No. Invesco Zacks Mid- ETF is an accumulating fund. Dividends from its holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.

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

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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.

Can I buy a fraction of one CZA unit?

Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $119.59, and there is no minimum trade size.

What happens to my CZA units if I pass away?

US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
