Why invest in XUTD from India
What XUTD holds
The iBoxx $ Treasuries Index is designed to replicate the performance of the U.S. government bond market. It specifically focuses on debt securities issued by the U.S. government and denominated in U.S. dollars.
Outside US estate tax
XUTD 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
XUTD 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 XUTD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XUTD is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
