Step 1
Open your Paasa account

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 GBP when you buy.
Step 3

Find the fund by its ticker, XDER, on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment, and place your order.
Why invest in XDER from India
What XDER holds
The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe Net Total Return Index is designed to mirror the financial performance of publicly traded real estate corporations and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) operating within Developed European nations. This benchmark exclusively comprises the most substantial and easily tradable companies, with their influence weighted based on their accessible market capitalization.
Outside US estate tax
XDER 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 XDER's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XDER 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.

What is the expense ratio of XDER?
Xtrackers FTSE Developed Europe Real Estate UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.33% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about £520.5M.
Is XDER a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Xtrackers FTSE Developed Europe Real Estate UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Luxembourg. Because it is domiciled outside the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell XDER?
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 GBP/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.
