Why invest in WDNA from India
What WDNA holds
The WisdomTree BioRevolution UCITS ETF is designed to mirror the overall financial returns, encompassing both capital growth and income generated, of the WisdomTree BioRevolution ESG Screened Index. This tracking is measured specifically prior to the deduction of any management fees or other operational costs.
Outside US estate tax
WDNA is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Dividends reinvested for you
Dividends from WDNA's holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
Hold a dollar asset
WDNA 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 WDNA's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
WDNA is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.

What is the expense ratio of WDNA?
WisdomTree BioRevolution UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.45% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $38.8M.
Is WDNA a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. WisdomTree BioRevolution UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it. On the US shares the fund holds, the 15% US dividend withholding is paid inside the fund, and you cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
Does WDNA pay dividends?
No. WisdomTree BioRevolution UCITS ETF is an accumulating fund. Dividends from its holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell WDNA?
In India, gains on foreign ETF units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation, and gains on units held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the USD/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
