Why invest in PRAS from India
What PRAS holds
The Amundi Core US Treasury Bond UCITS ETF Acc endeavors to closely track the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Index (the "Index") in all market conditions, whether bullish or bearish. Its primary objective is to ensure the fund's net asset value mirrors the Index's performance with minimal deviation, thereby reducing tracking error.
Outside US estate tax
PRAS is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from PRAS' holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
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 PRAS' UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
PRAS is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
