PremiumOnline investment platform Kuvera.in, has partnered with Vested Finance to enable Indian investors to invest in the US stock market.

“International markets do offer a lot of benefits and a 10 – 20% allocation to them will make your portfolio more resilient to domestic wobbles. Since 2017, when we started; our recommended portfolio has a 13% exposure to a Mutual Fund investing in US markets. The choice for US markets is simple, in our view. As mentioned earlier US is 66% of MSCI global, and US companies generate over 40% of revenue from global activities. US exposure, at least currently, is a good proxy for global exposure. Further, US markets have long histories, are deep in terms of liquidity, have strong corporate governance and are home to best in class companies across multiple industries. We are constantly in the process of reimagining investment opportunities for our discerning users and believe this is another step towards portfolio diversification," said Gaurav Rastogi, Founder & CEO – Kuvera.in.
International investing provides the investor the opportunity to directly invest in the parent stock rather than an indirect route of investing in its India entity and this through a perfectly legal route following the RBI’s Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) guidelines that governs the maximum amount and purposes of remittance. Under the LRS, an Indian resident can send up to $250,000 abroad annually without seeking approval from the RBI.
The partnership will offer following features to the customers who are interested to invest in US markets:
- Unlimited commission-free investing in the US markets.
- Fractional investing - ability to buy less than one share, enabling to invest as low as $1 for high priced shares such as Amazon, Google, or Berkshire Hathaway.
- Simplified remittance process through partnerships with banks to enable online and pick up remittance service.
