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.
