Open your Paasa account

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, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to GBP when you buy.
Step 3

Find the fund by its ticker, FWRG, on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment, and place your order.
Why invest in FWRG from India
What FWRG holds
The Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF Acc seeks to mirror the total net returns of the FTSE All-World Index, after accounting for its operational charges. This benchmark index comprises large and medium-sized companies across both developed and emerging economies worldwide.
Outside US estate tax
FWRG is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
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 FWRG's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
FWRG 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.

What is the expense ratio of FWRG?
Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.15% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about £3.9B.
Is FWRG a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so 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.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell FWRG?
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.
