How to invest in FDTX from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
Step 2
Add funds from your Indian bank account
Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit.
Step 3
Search FDTX and buy
Find the fund by its ticker, FDTX, on NASDAQ, and place your order. Fractional units are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount.
Why invest in FDTX from India
What FDTX holds
FDTX aims for long-term capital growth by utilizing Fidelitys disruptive strategies which identify global technology companies perceived to disrupt market conditions or displace incumbents over time. These companies are those that, in the adviser's opinion, are engaged in big data, machine learning, AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, e-commerce and consumer technologies, rideshare, battery technology, and next-generation hardware.
Hold a dollar asset
FDTX 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.
Buy a fraction of a unit
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one FDTX unit. There is no minimum trade size.
Paasa handles the paperwork

Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US ETFs? Here's what US estate tax means for you.
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.
A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.

Can I buy FDTX from India?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell FDTX?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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.
Can I buy a fraction of one FDTX unit?
Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $48.62, and there is no minimum trade size.
What happens to my FDTX units if I pass away?
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
