Why invest in EWRD from India
What EWRD holds
This investment vehicle is designed to closely track the performance of the MSCI World SRI S-Series 5% Capped (NTR) index (Bloomberg: M1CXWSC Index), mirroring its gains and losses. A core objective is to ensure that the difference in returns between the fund and its benchmark, known as the Tracking Error, consistently remains below 1%.
Hold a dollar asset
EWRD 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.

BNP Paribas Easy MSCI World SRI S-Series PAB 5% Capped has an expense ratio of 0.25% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $1.7B.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell EWRD?
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.
