A question i have been largely fruitlessly asking in several such threads before: How do i invest in U.S. stock market being a non-American (Russian living in EU)? Without paying too much in taxes, that is.
- Inufu 10y agoGet a broker account in the country you are living in, then buy Vanguard index funds, e.g. VOO (or local version thereof).
- anovikov 10y agoWhere can i read trustworthy info about market->exchange->broker->client relationship? Specifically, what happens if the broker decides to scam his clients? What are the potential ways a broker can steal money/stocks of his clients and run away? Did it ever happen in reality? What are the safeguards protecting from that? Also, how do i protect these investments from my wife?
- skrause 10y agoThere are a lot of index funds (especially ETFs) domiciled in EU countries that buy US stocks. Here is a list of EU-domiciled US stock market ETFs sorted by size: https://www.justetf.com/uk/find-etf.html?groupField=none&sortField=fundSize&assetClass=class-equity&country=US&sortOrder=desc https://www.justetf.com/uk/find-etf.html?groupField=none&sor... You can (and should) generally buy these using a local broker in the country you live in. For tax reasons it's generally better to buy a EU-domiciled fund instead of a US-based one, but that depends on the country you live in. Here in Germany buying a US-domiciled Vanguard fund would be tax hell, but the Irish ETFs are usually very good for the US stock market.
