Getting started with US shares
Sign up to Sharesies, or check out our help centre to learn how to start investing in US companies and exchange-traded funds.
You’ll need to exchange NZ dollars into US dollars to buy US shares. There’s a fee for exchanging money.
The Sharesies transaction fee applies to both US companies and funds.
US share markets are open weekdays 9:30 AM to 4 PM Eastern Time. In NZ time, that’s Tuesday to Saturday, 1:30 AM to 8 AM. You can place an order at any time, but it won’t go to market until the US exchanges open. US market hours and time zones.
We’ll pay tax on income from US shares for you—there are three tax rate options for US shares, depending on the country you’re a tax resident of. You’ll need to complete a W-8BEN or W-9 form before you can buy US shares or US dollars.
