What's the Best brokerage for Indian investors seeking US IPOs?
Start with a broker that accepts your country of residence and offers the exchange you need. Ask separately about eligibility for offer-price allocations and trading after listing.
US IPO allocations versus stock-market purchases
Buying a stock after it starts trading is different from receiving shares in the initial public offering at the offer price. An international brokerage account can provide post-listing market access without providing an IPO allocation. Allocations depend on the issuer, underwriters and the brokerage's eligibility policies.
Why residency matters
Your citizenship alone does not determine which accounts you can open. Where you currently reside, applicable Indian outward-investment rules, the broker's accepted account types and the specific security all affect access. We ask about these before discussing options.
