Founder and Managing Partner, Abanwill Consultants LLP
Before Vested, investing internationally was quite a hassle. Their interface is very user-friendly and transfer of funds from India has been made easy. Most importantly, reports to file income taxes are also available at a click. The Management team is open to feedback and works on improving the platform continuously. I would recommend them to everyone who wants to make an international portfolio

I’ve been with Vested since 2019, one of the early ones. I was so grateful to have a commission free broker who enabled me to buy and sell US stocks while residing in India. I continue to enjoy the ease with which I can conduct serious business from my cellphone. Since I have a long term commitment to stay invested in my stocks, I am depending on Vested being my facilitator for the long term as well.
