Buying these stocks<\/a> enables you to leverage their profits and become a part of their growth stories. It also helps you diversify your stock portfolio beyond the Indian stock market.<\/p>\n In fact, you can invest in the US stock market by sitting in India. The process has become all the easier as the Indian government does not have stringent restrictions for the same.<\/p>\n You can invest in the US stock market in these two ways \u2013<\/p>\n You can invest in US stocks directly. This happens by opening an overseas trading account with a domestic or foreign broker. Choosing a domestic or foreign broker is totally up to you and depends on what suits you best.<\/p>\n Many domestic brokers in India have tie-ups with stockbrokers in the US. The domestic brokers only act as intermediaries and execute your trades.<\/p>\n Only a few Indian brokerage houses have these tie-ups, such as ICICI Direct, Kotak Securities, India Infoline, Reliance Money, and Religare. You can easily open this trading account by submitting some important documents. These documents include a duly filled account opening form, along with your KYC documents.<\/p>\n The KYC documents must have your PAN card and resident proof (voter ID or latest bank statement). Once this is done, your account opening takes place.<\/p>\n You need to transfer some funds under $2,50,000. Once you transfer the funds, you can begin investing in foreign stocks.<\/p>\n However, you must remember that the cost of investment can be high due to high brokerage charges and conversion rates, so it is important for you to know all the costs involved before opening the account, the ongoing conversion rate, and the speculations in the same.<\/p>\n If you do not want to have an intermediary making your trades, you can directly open an overseas trading account with a foreign broker.<\/p>\n However, this foreign broker must have some presence in India. Some of these brokerage houses are Charles Schwab, Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers<\/a>, etc. Once you decide on the brokerage firm<\/a> you want to open the account with, ensure that you understand all their charges and the fee structure, affecting your investment cost.<\/p>\n The further process remains the same as stated in the process of opening an account with a domestic broker.<\/p>\n You can also choose to take an indirect position in the US stock market by not investing in them directly. Here is how \u2013<\/p>\n This is one of the easiest ways to be a part of the foreign portfolio without directly investing in any single foreign stock. This does not require opening an overseas trading account or maintaining a minimum deposit to begin investing.<\/p>\n There are several mutual funds in India that invest in the US stocks and\/or their mutual funds as a whole. Investing in such a mutual fund<\/a> helps you escape the hassle of choosing the right stocks for investing.<\/li>\n You can also befriend the US stocks through exchange-traded funds.<\/p>\n There are both indirect and direct ways in order to invest through ETFs<\/a>. You can directly purchase a US ETF through a domestic or a foreign broker. What you can also do is purchase Indian ETFs of international indices, garnering similar benefits.<\/li>\n Investing via new-age apps has become a very popular thing nowadays. More and more people are trying their hands at it, solely because of the gains and the ease of doing it.<\/p>\n Since mobile apps’ evolution is emerging for different types of services, several startups have launched their own apps. These apps help Indian investors invest in the US market in a hassle-free and secure way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nHere are a few more reasons why you should consider investing in the US stock market \u2013<\/h4>\n
