Why invest in LYSPH from India
What LYSPH holds
The Amundi Core S&P 500 Swap UCITS ETF CHF Hedged Dist aims to precisely mirror the financial performance of the S&P 500 CHF Daily Hdg (Net TR) Index, regardless of whether market trends are ascending or descending. A core objective is also to reduce the deviation between the fund's net asset value and the Index's returns as much as possible.
Outside US estate tax
LYSPH is domiciled in Luxembourg, 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 LYSPH's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
LYSPH is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

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