Why invest in XSGI from India
What XSGI holds
This index, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index, is designed to track the performance of a specific segment of the market: the 75 largest global companies operating within the crucial energy, transportation, and utilities sectors. Together, these firms represent approximately 80% of the free-float market capitalization available in these industries.
Outside US estate tax
XSGI 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 XSGI's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XSGI 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 XSGI?

Is XSGI a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Xtrackers S&P Global Infrastructure 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.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell XSGI?
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.
