Why invest in SBV from India
What SBV holds
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide total return of capital growth and income over the medium to long term, through an actively managed portfolio of Singapore and international bonds, high quality interest rate securities and other related securities. There is no target industry or sector.
Hold a dollar asset
SBV 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy SBV from India?
Yes. Indian residents can buy LionGlobal Short Duration Bond Active ETF (SBV) through Paasa. It is listed on the Singapore Exchange 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 SBV?
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax on the sale of shares, ETFs or REITs. Gains are taxable in India. Debt-oriented funds can be taxed differently from equity funds, so confirm your rate before selling. The gain is 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.
