Why invest in MAGG from India
What MAGG holds
The iShares Growth Portfolio UCITS ETF strives to generate a total return using a proactively managed, multi-asset investment strategy. It prioritizes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, ensuring at least 80% of its holdings meet the fund's criteria, while simultaneously aiming for a growth-oriented risk profile.
Outside US estate tax
MAGG 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 MAGG's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
MAGG 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 MAGG?

Is MAGG a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. iShares Growth Portfolio 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 MAGG?
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 GBP/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.
