Why invest in QQMG from India
What QQMG holds
The Invesco ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF (referred to as the Fund) is designed to track the performance of the Nasdaq-100 ESG Index (the Index). To achieve its objective, the Fund allocates a minimum of 90% of its total assets to the securities that constitute the underlying Index.
Hold a dollar asset
QQMG 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 QQMG unit. There is no minimum trade size.
Paasa handles the paperwork

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.

How are QQMG dividends taxed in India?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell QQMG?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. 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.
Can I buy a fraction of one QQMG unit?
Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $51.84, and there is no minimum trade size.
