Why invest in EMAU from India
What EMAU holds
This L&G Emerging Markets Corporate Bond (USD) Screened UCITS ETF aims to replicate the financial performance of the J.P. Morgan ESG CEMBI Broad Diversified Custom Maturity Index.
Outside US estate tax
EMAU is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
EMAU 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 EMAU's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
EMAU is domiciled in Ireland, 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.
