Why invest in KRW from India
What KRW holds
Sub-Fund is to track both the upward and the downward evolution of the MSCI Korea 20/35 Net Total Return Index (the Index) denominated in US Dollars and representative of the South Korean equity market, while minimizing the volatility of the difference between the return of the Sub-Fund and the return of the Index
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from KRW's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Hold a dollar asset
KRW 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.
