Global Investing
For over two decades, ICICIdirect.com has been offering Indian investors the opportunity
to invest and build their financial assets in a convenient and knowledgeable way.
With ever increasing globalization, diversification has become an important objective
for many investors to spread risks and tap opportunities across geographies and
asset classes.
ICICI Securities has enabled investment in US markets across stocks, ETFs, bonds
and mutual funds for its retail clients. For this, it has tied-up with Interactive
Brokers LLC, a US-based online brokerage firm with multi-asset and multi geography
trading capabilities. The complete investment journey, right from account opening,
broking, portfolio monitoring and statements is seamless and digital.
Investing in a matured and well-regulated market like the US provides exposure to
well-known and well tracked international companies. Now Indian retail investors
can own a piece of brands they use every day like Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Facebook
etc. There is no minimum ticket size and US markets even allow fractional ownership
of shares. So even small retail investors can build a portfolio effectively.
