Why invest in REXC from India
What REXC holds
The Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF, an investment vehicle within the Sprott Funds Trust, functions as an exchange-traded fund. Its establishment and primary management are overseen by Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc., with ALPS Advisors, Inc. serving as co-manager.
Hold a dollar asset
REXC 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 REXC 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy REXC from India?
Yes. Indian residents can buy Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF (REXC) through Paasa. It is listed on NASDAQ and trades in US dollars. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and the units are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell REXC?
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 REXC unit?
Yes. You can buy by amount rather than by unit and add to your position over time. One unit is $16.63, and there is no minimum trade size.
What happens to my REXC 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.
