How to invest in UEEF from India

  1. 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.

  2. 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 EUR when you buy.

  3. Step 3

    Search UEEF and buy

    Find the fund by its ticker, UEEF, on XETRA, and place your order.

Why invest in UEEF from India

What UEEF holds

This fund is designed to offer investors an overall return, comprising both appreciation in value and income earned. Its goal is to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI US Corporate High Yield Sustainable BB+ SRI Bond Index.

Outside US estate tax

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

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 UEEF's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors

UEEF 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.
