How to invest in TIPX 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.
Step 3
Search TIPX and buy
Find the fund by its ticker, TIPX, on NYSE Arca, and place your order. Fractional units are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount.
Why invest in TIPX from India
What TIPX holds
The State Street SPDR Bloomberg 1-10 Year TIPS ETF (TIPX) aims to replicate the price and yield performance of the Bloomberg 1-10 Year U.S Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index, prior to accounting for administrative costs. It primarily invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) with maturities ranging from one to ten years, with a central objective of safeguarding investment purchasing power from inflationary pressures.
Hold a dollar asset
TIPX 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.
Buy a fraction of a unit
Buy by amount, not by unit, and get the matching fraction of one TIPX unit. There is no minimum trade size.
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.
Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US ETFs? Here's what US estate tax means for you.
US-domiciled ETFs held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.
A UCITS ETF tracking a similar market sits outside US estate tax.
