Why invest in GSY from India
What GSY holds
Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust - Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF is an exchange traded fund launched and managed by Invesco Capital Management LLC. The fund is co-managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc. It invests in fixed income markets of the United States.
Hold a dollar asset
GSY 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
