How to invest in HIGH from India
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.
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 EUR when you buy.
Step 3
Search HIGH and buy
Find the fund by its ticker, HIGH, on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment, and place your order.
Why invest in HIGH from India
What HIGH holds
The fund aims to mirror the financial performance of a benchmark index, which consists of high-yield corporate debt instruments denominated in Euros.
Outside US estate tax
HIGH 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 HIGH's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
HIGH is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
