Why invest in GGTL from India
What GGTL holds
The Gabelli Global Technology Leaders ETF is a proactively managed fund that aims to strategically invest in pioneering tech firms worldwide. These companies are identified as key drivers of innovation for the coming decade, with the fund's holdings concentrated in vital sectors like semiconductors, software, cybersecurity, and both IT and AI infrastructure.
Hold a dollar asset
GGTL 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 GGTL 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.

What is the expense ratio of GGTL?

How are GGTL dividends taxed in India?
Gabelli Global Technology Leaders ETF is a distributing fund. It pays the dividends from its holdings out to you in cash. 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. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell GGTL?
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 GGTL unit?
Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $41.79, and there is no minimum trade size.
What happens to my GGTL 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.
