Why invest in TRE3 from India
What TRE3 holds
This Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) seeks to replicate the total return performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Index, after accounting for its charges. Income is distributed to investors every quarter.
Outside US estate tax
TRE3 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
TRE3 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 TRE3's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
TRE3 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.
