Why invest in PGHY from India

What PGHY holds

The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the components that comprise the underlying index. The underlying index is composed of U.S. dollar denominated, below investment grade corporate debt that is publicly issued in the U.S. domestic and eurobond markets by non-U.S. issuers.

Hold a dollar asset

PGHY is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Buy a fraction of a unit

Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one PGHY unit. There is no minimum trade size.

Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US ETFs? Here's what US estate tax means for you.

US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.

A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.

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

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. Gains are taxable in India. Debt-oriented funds can be taxed differently from equity funds, so confirm your rate before selling. The gain is worked out in rupees at the USD/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.

Can I buy a fraction of one PGHY unit?

What happens to my PGHY units if I pass away?

US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
