Why invest in XSX6 from India
What XSX6 holds
The fund is passively managed. The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the STOXX Europe 600 index (index), while seeking to minimise foreign currency fluctuations at share class level
Outside US estate tax
XSX6 is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

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 XSX6's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XSX6 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 XSX6?
Xtrackers Stoxx Europe 600 UCITS ETF has an expense ratio of 0.2% a year, taken from the fund's assets rather than billed to you. The fund manages about £4.8B.
Is XSX6 a UCITS ETF, and why does that matter for Indian investors?
Yes. Xtrackers Stoxx Europe 600 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 XSX6?
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.
