How to invest in KFTK from India

  1. 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.

  2. 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, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to EUR when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search KFTK and buy

    Find the fund by its ticker, KFTK, on XETRA, and place your order.

Why invest in KFTK from India

What KFTK holds

The Invesco KBW NASDAQ Fintech UCITS ETF Acc is engineered to replicate the net total return performance of the KBW NASDAQ Financial Technology Index (known as the "Reference Index"), factoring in all fund-related expenses. This Reference Index comprises roughly 50 US-listed companies, each equally weighted, that harness technology to provide financial products and services.

Outside US estate tax

KFTK is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

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 KFTK's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors

KFTK 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.

What is the expense ratio of KFTK?

Is KFTK a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

Yes. Invesco KBW NASDAQ Fintech UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell KFTK?

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 EUR/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.
