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

Vested has been one the earliest and definitely one of the most user-friendly service helping investors like me to diversify their portfolio. I have never faced a single issue with either fund transfer, buying or selling stocks or even withdrawals back to my Indian account. I am a big fan of vested direct and also their tax harvesting feature which they introduced recently. ?Kudos to the team! Keep it up!!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to invest in US Stocks?

Yes. We follow the RBI’s Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) guidelines. Instituted by the RBI, the LRS is a set of policies that governs the maximum amount and purposes of remittance. Under the LRS, an Indian resident can annually send up to USD $250,000 abroad without seeking approval from the RBI. The LRS has made it easier for Indian residents to study abroad, travel, and make investments in other countries. Read more about the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS). For the most up-to-date regulations, you can refer to the RBI’s website. Please see Article 6(iii) for specific LRS regulations regarding investments in equity.

What happens if Vested shuts down?

If Vested shuts down, you will still have access to all your cash and securities. Your assets are held at a 3rd party custodian; we do not ever touch or hold your money. We will ensure that direct DriveWealth access is established for you to further buy or sell securities. In the highly unlikely event that both Vested and DriveWealth shut down, your SIPC insurance kicks in. Each brokerage account opened with Vested is insured by SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation) up to $500,000; this includes $250,000 in cash. Read more on the SIPC Insurance.

How does the taxation on US Stocks work?

There are two types of taxation events when investing in US Stocks:

  • Taxes on investment gains: You will be taxed in India for this gain. You will not be taxed in the US. The amount of taxes you have to pay in India depends on how long you hold the investment. 24 months is the long-term capital gain threshold and the tax rate is 20% with indexation benefit. Below 24 months is short-term capital gain and is taxed according to your income tax slab.
  • Taxes on dividends: Unlike investment gain, dividends will be taxed in the US at a flat rate of 25%. Fortunately, the US and India have a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), which allows taxpayers to offset income tax already paid in the US. The 25% tax you already paid in the US is made available as Foreign Tax Credit and can be used to offset your income tax payable in India.

How can I verify the ownership of my shares?

Share ownership verification works slightly differently in the US than in India. Shares are held by a third-party custodian in the ‘street name‘ of the broker rather than the underlying investor. This is why you do not receive direct emails from the custodian regarding your holdings. As per SEC guidelines, if you want to confirm the share ownership for your Vested account, you can contact DriveWealth, our broker partner, directly at support@drivewealth.com.

How does fractional investing work?

On the Vested platform, you can invest in either full or fractional shares. When your investment is in full shares, our broker partner (DriveWealth) will route the orders to market centers on an Agency basis. When the investment is fractional shares, our broker partner will satisfy the order from its own account on a Principal basis at the National Best Bid or Offer (NBBO). NBBO means that DriveWealth cannot add margin to the price. So, if the market price of 1 share of Amazon is $1000, and you purchase 0.1 shares of Amazon, you will pay $100 for the 0.1 shares. Any orders for full or fractional shares will be executed via both methods, part as Agent and part as Principal.
