How to invest in JQTY from India

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 JQTY from India
What JQTY holds
The Fund seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Jensen U.S. Quality Index. The index uses a non-discretionary rules-based methodology to screen for U.S. companies that have generated a return on equity of 15% or more for at least ten consecutive fiscal years, then selects the 100 largest by market capitalization.
Hold a dollar asset
JQTY 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 JQTY unit. There is no minimum trade size.
Paasa handles the paperwork

Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US ETFs? Here's what US estate tax means for you.
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.
A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.

Can I buy JQTY from India?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell JQTY?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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.
Can I buy a fraction of one JQTY unit?
