US Stock Market Trading
As the world's largest economy, the United States is home to the biggest stock exchanges in terms of the number of listed companies and market capitalisation.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ are the two main stock exchanges, which are bellwethers for markets around the world.
For investors looking to diversify their portfolio, the US stock markets can provide a wide range of industries – financials, healthcare, information technology, energy, telecommunication services, consumer discretionary and consumer staples – to choose from.
The US remains the most coveted market for companies seeking public listing due to the massive amount of investor interest and activity in the country.
Diversify your portfolio
Whether you are looking for fast-moving and rapid-rising technology companies or steady-growth players, the US markets have a deep pool of companies and industries that can enhance your investment portfolio.
Expand your investment reach and access 70% of the world's stock market capitalisation, through one platform.
Home to some of the world's largest companies such as technology giants including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, the US stock markets provide investment opportunities not found in other markets.
Access deep liquidity
The fact that the US hosts many of the world's largest companies also means their stock markets have deep liquidity, which means there are constant opportunities to invest in a wide range of industries.
With the massive amount of inventions – new products, technologies and services – generated in the US, its markets attract a constant flow of investment money from across the globe.
Trading the US markets, you will also have access to Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) which may not be available in your home country markets.
