All of them listed is US, HKEX or SGX is traded in USD only.
Just the company structure is different, those listed in SGX and HKEX is offshore, so they are not subject to US tax.
FYI, the returns of those non-US -domiciled ETF are adjusted for the dividend tax withholding.Just the company structure is different, those listed in SGX and HKEX is offshore, so they are not subject to US tax.
One may want to check for the tax treaty between the domiciled country and US.
For instance, Ireland-domiciled Vanguard S&P 500 (VUSA) is subjected to 15% dividend withholding instead of the normal 30%.
Another thing to take note is the estate tax imposed by US: Stocks are treated as U.S. gross estate and there's only $60k tax exemption for non-resident alien.
