Frequently asked questions
Can I buy FAAN from India?
Yes. Indian residents can buy Ls Faang+ Etp (FAAN) through Paasa. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment and trades in GBP. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and the units are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
What is the expense ratio of FAAN?
Ls Faang+ Etp has an expense ratio of 0.35% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about £1.8M.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell FAAN?
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 GBP/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.
