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