Why invest in EXAG from India
What EXAG holds
This WisdomTree ETF is engineered to mirror the gross returns of the Morgan Stanley RADAR ex Agriculture & Livestock Commodity Total Return Index, which encompasses various commodities but excludes agricultural and livestock components. Furthermore, this specific share class is designed to provide exposure to this underlying index while simultaneously neutralizing the impact of fluctuations between the Euro and the US Dollar through a dedicated currency hedging mechanism.
Outside US estate tax
EXAG is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from EXAG's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
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 EXAG's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
EXAG is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.
