Indian investors can easily invest in American companies like Google, Tesla, Amazon. There are 4 major ways for this – Indian Brokers, International Brokers, Gift City Platform and US-Focused Mutual Funds.
New Delhi. If you invest only in the Indian stock market, you stay away from the growth of some of the world’s biggest companies like Google, Tesla, Amazon or Nvidia. Today there are many ways through which Indian investors can easily invest money in American stocks.
How to invest in American stocks?
1. Indian Brokers with Access to the US Market
Many domestic platforms partner with American brokers. Through these, shares of companies like Google, Tesla can be purchased directly. This method is easy, but the charges for converting INR to USD may be slightly higher.
2. Use of International Brokers
Some foreign brokers allow Indian investors to open accounts directly such as Interactive Brokers or TD Ameritrade. These are better options for big investors as their starting amount is higher.
3. Investment through GIFT City
Gujarat’s GIFT City is fast becoming a new avenue for global investment. The brokers here provide access to the US market. Recently Marcellus Investment Managers has also launched NASDAQ ETF here, so that small investors can also easily enter the US market.
4. American themed mutual funds
The easiest way is Indian mutual funds which invest in US indices or companies. Among these, names like Motilal Oswal Nasdaq 100 ETF, Axis NASDAQ 100 FoF, Edelweiss US Tech FoF are popular. Small investors can also easily participate in global growth through Systematic Investment Plan (SIP).
Experts also believe that international investment is no longer a luxury but has become a smart option for every investor. International funds managed by Indian AMCs are considered the easiest route for beginning investors.
