how does the us estate tax affect an australian with investments domiciled in the us?
user
i don't think the location of the funds is any of your concern. you're buying a cdi, which is: australian financial instruments the us has no jurisdiction over you, being you an australian, so unless you own a us-based asset (i.e.: a real-estate in the us, or a us brokerage account), us tax laws shouldn't matter to you.
