Why invest in FSMF from India
What FSMF holds
This Sub-Fund seeks to meet the long-term global warming objectives outlined in the Paris Agreement by minimizing the carbon emissions of its investment portfolio, while simultaneously aiming for both income generation and capital appreciation.
Outside US estate tax
FSMF is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
FSMF 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.
Why FSMF's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
FSMF is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.
