Why invest in PRJU from India
What PRJU holds
The Amundi Prime Japan UCITS ETF DR is engineered to closely track the performance of the Solactive GBS Japan Large & Mid Cap Index (Net Total return), mirroring its movements accurately whether it gains or loses value. This exchange-traded fund provides investment access to prominent large and mid-capitalisation businesses within the Japanese equity market.
Outside US estate tax
PRJU is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
PRJU 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.
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 PRJU's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
PRJU is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

What is the expense ratio of PRJU?

Is PRJU a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Amundi Prime Japan UCITS ETF DR D is a UCITS fund domiciled in Luxembourg. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.
How are PRJU dividends taxed in India?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell PRJU?
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 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.
