Why invest in IU0A from India
What IU0A holds
This fund's primary objective is to mirror the performance of a specific index. The index itself is constituted by corporate debt instruments, all of which are issued in US dollars and adhere to stringent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) screening criteria.
Outside US estate tax
IU0A 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
IU0A 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 IU0A's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
IU0A 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.
