Why invest in XZBD from India
What XZBD holds
This index aims to mirror the performance of a specific segment of the bond market: U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt. It includes bonds from both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, provided they are classified as investment grade.
Outside US estate tax
XZBD is domiciled in Ireland, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.
Hold a dollar asset
XZBD 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 XZBD's UCITS structure matters for Indian investors
XZBD is domiciled in Ireland, 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.

Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
