Why invest in SUSC from India
What SUSC holds
This Fund aims to mirror the returns of the market for high-quality, short-term corporate bonds issued in U.S. Dollars, which carry a fixed interest rate.
Outside US estate tax
SUSC is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
SUSC 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 SUSC's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
SUSC is domiciled in Ireland, 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.
