Why invest in LIRU from India
What LIRU holds
The Amundi STOXX Europe 600 Insurance UCITS ETF Acc endeavors to mirror the performance of the STOXX Europe 600 Insurance Net Total Return index ("the Index") as accurately as possible, irrespective of market upturns or downturns. Comprehensive details regarding the index's methodology can be found in the fund's prospectus or the Key Information Document (KID).
Outside US estate tax
LIRU is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from LIRU's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
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 LIRU's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors

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.
