Why invest in JREM from India
What JREM holds
The primary goal of this Sub-Fund is to achieve sustained capital growth over the long term, exceeding the performance of its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Market Index (Total Return Net). It does so by actively managing investments, primarily focusing on a selection of companies within emerging economies.
Outside US estate tax
JREM 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
JREM 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 JREM's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
JREM is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.
