What are US Stocks?

Stocks or equities are ownership in a company. When you buy shares of a US company, you are buying a partial stake in a business that is listed on an exchange such as the NYSE or NASDAQ. The performance of your shares will largely depend on the financial performance and market price of the company.

Why Invest in US Stocks?

Some of the key advantages of investing in US stocks:

• High liquidity: Trading volumes are huge, making it easy to buy and sell.
• Large capitalization: Many US companies have strong balance sheets and the potential to survive difficult market conditions.
• Wide diversification: A wide range of sectors are available, from technology to healthcare.
• Global access: The US market is open to international investors, supported by regulation and transparency.

Risks and Costs

While the potential returns are great, investing in US stocks also comes with risks:

• Currency fluctuations: If you trade in USD while your income is denominated in another currency, exchange rate risk can affect your returns.
• Transaction fees: Brokers like Saxo set fees starting from USD 0.01 per share, depending on the account type.
• Limited information: As an overseas investor, you may have less exposure to US domestic dynamics.
