Why invest in XHYG from India
What XHYG holds
The Markit iBoxx EUR Liquid High Yield Index seeks to replicate the investment performance of a particular segment of the bond market: euro-denominated corporate bonds. This includes only sub-investment grade debt, where a minimum credit rating of CCC is required.
Outside US estate tax
XHYG 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 XHYG's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XHYG 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.
