How to invest in Fidus Investment from India

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Search FDUS and buy

    Find Fidus Investment by name or by its ticker, FDUS, and place your order. Fractional shares are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount instead of whole shares.

Why invest in Fidus Investment from India

What Fidus Investment does

Fidus Investment Corporation functions as a Business Development Company (BDC), offering capital solutions for diverse corporate endeavors. These encompass management buyouts, debt restructuring, ownership transitions, capital reorganizations, strategic acquisitions, and initiatives for growth and business expansion, frequently employing mezzanine financing. Fidus Investment operates in the Asset Management industry within the Financial Services sector.

Hold a dollar asset

Fidus Investment shares are priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what they're worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Buy a fraction of a share

Buy by amount, not by share, and get the matching fraction of one Fidus Investment share. There is no minimum trade size.

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.

Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US stocks? Here's what US estate tax means for you.

US-listed shares 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.

There are two ways to plan for it: keep the right estate documentation in place, or get your financial services exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Fidus Investment stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Fidus Investment (FDUS) shares directly through Paasa. Fidus Investment is listed on NASDAQ, in the Asset Management industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Do I need to buy a full Fidus Investment share?

No. You can buy part of one Fidus Investment share and add to your position over time. One share is $19.15, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.

How are Fidus Investment dividends taxed for Indian investors?

The US withholds 25% tax on dividends before they reach you; Paasa files Form W-8BEN for you, and the tax withheld can generally be claimed as a credit when you file in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Fidus Investment’s current yield is 14.15%. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment, which is what you need when you file.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Fidus Investment shares?

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares 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.

What happens to my Fidus Investment shares if I pass away?

US-listed shares 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. There are two ways to plan for it: keep the right estate documentation in place, or get your financial services exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
