Why invest in IEAU from India
What IEAU holds
This fund aims to closely mirror the financial performance of an underlying index. This benchmark is specifically constructed from high-quality corporate debt instruments, all denominated in Euro currency.
Outside US estate tax
IEAU is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
IEAU 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 IEAU's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
IEAU is domiciled in Ireland, 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.
