Why invest in MIST from India
What MIST holds
This Fund seeks to generate earnings and promote capital growth while simultaneously protecting the principal investment. Its holdings are predominantly allocated to a diverse range of debt securities denominated in US dollars.
Outside US estate tax

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 MIST's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
MIST is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
