How to invest in JIII 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.

Why invest in JIII from India
What JIII holds
This fund aims to achieve its investment objective by typically concentrating its investments in a diverse range of debt securities, spanning both U.S. and international markets, with varying lengths until maturity. The portfolio management team selects these instruments based on their belief that they offer superior income generation potential compared to other available fixed-income investments at any given time.
Hold a dollar asset
JIII 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
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one JIII unit. There is no minimum trade size.
