About
Duke Capital Limited operates as a private equity firm primarily engaged in Management Buyouts (MBOs), buy-and-build strategies, mid-market investments, minority buyouts, restructuring endeavors, and royalty financing for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The firm explicitly avoids investing in early-stage ventures, businesses with inherently tight profit margins, and does not provide venture capital funding. While its investment scope spans all sectors, Duke Capital exhibits a distinct preference for companies in manufacturing, services, healthcare, and IT services. Equity investments typically range from £5 million (approximately $6.36 million) to £30 million (around $38.18 million), targeting businesses with an EBITDA between £2 million ($2.54 million) and £10 million ($12.72 million). Additionally, the firm offers debt financing, with loan sizes generally falling between £10 million (approximately $12.72 million) and £30 million (roughly $38.18 million). Key investment criteria include a strong emphasis on intellectual property assets and financially stable, cash-generating businesses. It also favors companies with minimal or no existing debt, and partnerships with owners who wish to retain significant control or with management teams pursuing buyout opportunities. A core strategy involves providing capital in exchange for a modest share of future revenues, via royalty agreements. The firm shows a preference for businesses operating under government or regulatory licenses and generally seeks board representation within its portfolio companies, where it typically acquires minority stakes. Established in 2015, Duke Capital Limited is headquartered in Guernsey, with additional operational bases in both Guernsey and London, United Kingdom.

FAQs
Can Indian residents buy Duke Capital stock?
Yes. Duke Capital (DUKE) has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2012, in the Asset Management industry, and Indian residents can buy it through Paasa. You fund the account from your Indian bank under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the money is converted to US dollars and then to GBP. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.
How much does one Duke Capital share cost in rupees?
One Duke Capital share is £0.26 — about ₹33 at a GBP/INR rate of 127.32 on 30 Sep 2026. Both the Duke Capital price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.
What are the LRS and TCS rules for buying Duke Capital from India?
Remit up to $250,000 per financial year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). Banks collect 20% tax at source on LRS remittances above ₹10 lakh in a financial year; the TCS is adjustable against your income-tax liability. FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.
How are gains on Duke Capital shares taxed in India?
Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed shares, so the tax is an India-side one. Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the GBP/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Duke Capital price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Duke Capital pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Duke Capital pays a dividend and the current yield is 10.74%; the last declared dividend was £0.03 per share, about ₹3.56. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.
When can I trade Duke Capital from India?
The London Stock Exchange trades 12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST in Indian time. The window shifts to 1:30 pm – 10:00 pm IST when the UK is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.
Is Duke Capital a United Kingdom company, and does that change how it is taxed?
Duke Capital trades on the London Stock Exchange in GBP, but the company is domiciled in Guernsey. Duke Capital trades as an ordinary share listed directly in the UK, not a depositary receipt. Your India-side capital-gains treatment is the same either way.
Are there transaction taxes when buying Duke Capital?
The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it. This is charged by the market, not by Paasa.
Do I have to declare Duke Capital shares in my Indian tax return?
Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. Paasa gives you a Schedule FA-ready statement listing your Duke Capital holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Duke Capital and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (12:30 pm – 9:00 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in GBP in your Paasa account. From there you can hold the balance, reinvest, or repatriate. Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name. Whether the sale is short- or long-term is decided by the 24-month holding period.
