Why invest in XDUD from India
What XDUD holds
This index aims to mirror the performance of prominent German companies whose shares trade in Euros on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Constituent weighting is determined by their free-float adjusted market capitalization.
Outside US estate tax
XDUD is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
XDUD 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 XDUD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XDUD 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy XDUD from India?

What is the expense ratio of XDUD?
Xtrackers DAX ESG Screened UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.19% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about $636.3M.
Is XDUD a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Xtrackers DAX ESG Screened 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 XDUD?
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.
