Why invest in SGQD from India
What SGQD holds
The Amundi SG Global Quality Income NTR UCITS ETF - Acc is a UCITS-compliant Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that seeks to mirror the performance of its underlying benchmark, the SG Global Quality Income NTR index. This index is built upon the foundational principle that dividends have historically been the predominant driver of long-term equity returns.
Outside US estate tax
SGQD 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 SGQD's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Hold a dollar asset
SGQD 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 SGQD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
SGQD 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.

Is SGQD a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?

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.
