Why invest in HLTW from India
What HLTW holds
The Amundi MSCI World Health Care TR UCITS ETF - Acc (USD) operates as a UCITS-compliant exchange-traded fund, whose primary goal is to mirror the performance of its reference index, the MSCI Daily TR World Net Health Care USD. This particular index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted measure, crafted to represent the accessible market and financial performance of publicly traded companies within the global healthcare sector.
Outside US estate tax
HLTW is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from HLTW's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Hold a dollar asset
HLTW 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 HLTW's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
HLTW is domiciled in Luxembourg, 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.

Is HLTW a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell HLTW?
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.
