Find the fund by its ticker, X03H, on the SIX Swiss Exchange, and place your order.
Why invest in X03H from India
What X03H holds
This ETF is designed to replicate the performance of the FTSE World Government Bond Index for Developed Markets, denominated in Euros. Its investment focus is on fixed-rate government debt issued by developed countries, providing broad exposure across the yield curve, with a minimum remaining maturity of one year for all included bonds.
Outside US estate tax
X03H is domiciled in Luxembourg, 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 X03H's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
X03H is domiciled in Luxembourg, 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.
