Why invest in TIP5 from India
What TIP5 holds
The fund's primary aim is to replicate the investment performance of a chosen index. This benchmark is specifically constituted from U.S. government bonds engineered to safeguard against inflationary erosion.
Outside US estate tax
TIP5 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
TIP5 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 TIP5's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
TIP5 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.
