Why invest in VETY from India
What VETY holds
This Fund's primary objective is to replicate the returns of the Bloomberg Euro-Aggregate: Treasury Index. It accomplishes this through a passive investment approach, commonly known as indexing, by directly purchasing and holding the underlying bonds that comprise the index.
Outside US estate tax
VETY 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 VETY's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
VETY 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.

Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
