How to invest in SLXX from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
Step 2
Add funds from your Indian bank account
Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to GBP when you buy.
Step 3
Search SLXX and buy
Find the fund by its ticker, SLXX, on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment, and place your order.

What SLXX holds
This Fund aims to closely replicate the returns of a particular benchmark index. This index exclusively consists of high-quality corporate debt securities, all denominated in British Pounds.
Outside US estate tax

SLXX is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
