Why invest in XGDD from India
What XGDD holds
This ETF is designed to mirror the performance of the STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 Return Index. This index specifically targets companies operating in developed markets worldwide, chosen for their consistently high dividend payouts.
Outside US estate tax
XGDD 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
XGDD 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 XGDD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XGDD 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.

Is XGDD a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Xtrackers Stoxx Global Select Dividend 100 Swap 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.
How are XGDD dividends taxed in India?

What tax do I pay in India when I sell XGDD?
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.
