Why invest in DCOR from India
What DCOR holds
The fund's advisor utilizes a comprehensive investment methodology, blending in-depth research, strategic portfolio construction, ongoing management, and effective trading practices to achieve its goals. The ETF primarily aims to acquire a wide and diverse array of equity securities from companies based in the United States.
Hold a dollar asset
DCOR 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 DCOR unit. There is no minimum trade size.
Paasa handles the paperwork

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.

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

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.
