How to invest in LQCE from India
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.
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 CHF when you buy.
Step 3
Search LQCE and buy
Find the fund by its ticker, LQCE, on the SIX Swiss Exchange, and place your order.
Why invest in LQCE from India
What LQCE holds
The investment objective of this Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the total return of the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index.
Outside US estate tax
LQCE 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 LQCE's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
LQCE is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

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

Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
