The U.S. stock markets represent the biggest single concentration of wealth in history.That's due to the size of the U.S. economy and the highly regulated nature of U.S. markets.
No other financial market is as large, accessible, transparent, and liquid as the U.S. market. Many of the world’s biggest global growth companies, such as Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google (FAANG) are listed in the US.
There are many reasons for Malaysian investors to own stocks listed in the U.S. In the last decade, the S&P 500 index has delivered returns of around 300%, while Malaysia’s equivalent the FBM KLCI returned a measly 26% for the same period.

To make this guide as complete as possible, I believe these are worthy information to note as well:
1. When we refer to the US stock market, we are referring to New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ, which is our Bursa Malaysia equivalent of stock exchange. S&P500 is an index that tracks 500 of the largest companies in the US, which is almost equivalent to the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) that tracks the top 30 largest companies in Malaysia.
2. The US market opens at 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. US time, that is 9:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Malaysia time ("Regular Trading Hours"). You can start trading in the US market 5 hours before and after the Regular Trading Hours - we call them Pre-market & After-hours trading, a unique feature that is not available in Bursa Malaysia. Liquidity/trading volume is the highest during Regular Trading Hours.
If you ever need any help or have any questions, feel free to comment down below or DM me via Instagram (link in description), I usually reply all comments/messages within 24 hours!😊
Must definitely use ? Cimb SG account
This is a good video man, honestly. You are the only Malaysian youtuber that talks about finance in this detail. Don't usually give out likes but you deserve it. Hope the channel grows like the power of compounding!
Thank you so much! I do feel we are missing that component so…I’m just really glad to be able to fill the gap 😊 Have a great day!
The value that you provide within your content is surreal. Felt like stealing considering all the explainations provided are free. Insta subs.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! This just made my day 🥰🥰
Just the video I needed! THANKS!
Yayyy!
Nice sharing and easy to understand. Thanks you bro for the amazing content
Informative video as usual 💯
Thank you so much Yeeming!🥰
Excellent video on investing in US stock market, A to Z....thank you Ziet 👍
Thank you Sulaiman!🥰
bro love all your videos.. thank you.. world class
Thank you so much Yunus! Have a great week ahead 😊
superr..... yr channel surely is very underrated. best wishes ...
Thank you so much Robert, really appreciate the support! We are all a student of the market at the end of the day!
Thanks a lot for a good info. The best!
Cheers Dean!
Hello Ziet, really knowledgable videos! Could you explain more on the US dividend withholding tax and US estate tax? How does it affect Malaysians like us?
Hi Kevin, you can refer this video for the explanation (skip to the tax section): th-cam.com/video/VIM1fczQdAE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info man
cheers bud!
Help alot thanks
Hi Ziet, great video once again!! Just would like to know what is the least amount of money do you think we should invest in any one transaction considering all the fees (commission, Forex, and etc) involved?
Hi there, that really depends on everyone's perspectives.
With IBKR charging around 0.35/trade, for every 100 USD trade you would be paying 0.035% of fee which is very little to be very honest. Personally, for any brokers, I would try to keep fees below 0.05% per trade (of course the lower the better)😊
Excellent video and explanation is well delivered brother! Currently im looking forward to invest in global stocks rather than malaysia, just wanna know whether interactive broker is shariah compliant?(i mean just using normal account not the margin one)
Good video boss..
Thank youuuu🥰
Would be interested to hear your thoughts/breakdown on stashaway, the recent optimization and your current SA performance!
Thanks for the suggestion XM, I understand many people have been on the fence with StashAway and it's been some time since my last follow up 😝 Will see how I can come up with an update video!
WOW this is a perfect summary video for me to share to friends who r interested in US stocks. Thanks a lot for that 😁✌️
That is the objective of this video haha! Thank you so much🙏🏻🙏🏻
It is really a great video for a fresh new beginner! Hope this video was available few year back when I just started to invest in US market
Thank you so much for your kind words Juin Song☺️ Hopefully we can make it easier for others moving forward!
Fantastic
Thank you!
Well Structured explanation!!!
Thank you thank you 🕺🏻☺️
Thanks for this great video, do you know where I can learn US stock trading ?
Hi Allan, you can learn it anywhere from TH-cam to books etc., feel free to DM me on instagram!
Hi bro what a great explanation video.. i wanted to ask.. for first step should i go invest in bursa malaysia or straight to us investment?
Hi Danial, they are two different stock market for two different risk appetites and investment goals ya. Personally i like the risk to reward for US market 😁
Hi Ziet..
Could you give advices/opinions about the apps Gotrade?
Dont really like them, too loose regulation
Ziet, Im back visiting your channel now that I’m ready to invest in US stock market. I wonder have you considered starting a blog or a website, and post a written format of your tutorial (so valuable for those of us who prefer step by step tutorial). You can drive traffic / earn 💰 from google Adsense as well. Do give this a consideration. Thank you for your help!
Hi there, I'm so happy for you!
Re written format, I usually post them on my Instagram & facebook only but its not a proper full-scale blog unfortunately, not enough time to cover everything🥲
I do have a non-functional website because im still procrastinating to finish it 😂 Hopefully i found the motivation to go and complete it haha! For now, I guess I'll make do with TH-cam first!
Feel free to drop by my Instagram anytime for a chat!
Ziet, starting next year capital gain brought back from sg will be taxed right? How to go about that?
Are you referring to Budget 2022 tax? From what i read it is applicable to SMEs, not sure if foreign investment income (i.e. Capital gains) is included or not - i presume not
Good job !
Thank you!☺️
Hi I notice the transfer fee charged by WISE is much higher than Maybank in your video. Does it cancel out the money we save from the difference between FTT and WISE?
Hi, not really, you can do side by side comparison, note that with FTT you need to pay extra around 25 usd for agent bank fee
The information that you provided here is phenomenal. Appreciate if you could guide me on...1. Hi brother, how any way to contact you or see you in person, need a little more guide on investing on US stock market. 2. How many number of stocks are required (minimum) to entitle for dividend in US stock market?. Thanks.
Thank you Gunalan.
1) At the moment I don't do any meetups yet, but I do offer 1-on-1 private consultation (at an hourly fee) if you prefer personal guidance, you can email me at "hello@ziet.co" for further arrangements.
2) Any amount of stock holding will entitle you dividend, since dividend is calculated at X cents/share, so you will be paid according to the number of share you own, even if its fractional 0.50 share.
Interested in VTSAX. But with all the fees, commissions, conversion to USD from MYR and back again with the hassle. Do we still come out ahead after all the fees and hassle compared to investing locally?
Hi Brian, definitely, the conversion are usually done once every deposit/withdrawal - unless you are depositing a small amount every week or two, the losses should be pretty minor! Compared to paying USD 20+ per trade with local banks.
But note the VTSAX is a US mutual fund - i dont think non-US residents like us are able to invest in them - you can look at ETFs like VOO, SPY, IVV, SPLG instead!
As a new investor myself, your videos are so helpful! Just would like to ask if you know how to buy OTC stocks through IBKR? Been thinking about investing in Tencent and Alibaba ADRs but I don't really know what to do with the settings in my new IBKR account.
Hi Liew Yin, you might need to request for certain trading permission under your Account Settings. Alternatively, you can initiate Live Chat with IBKR support inside your IBKR portal (can refer my IBKR web portal tutorial) and they will direct you how to enable that within minutes. Hope this helps!
@@ZietInvests Thanks for the info btw! turns out, there's a minimum age limit to buy ADR in IBKR because it's classified as US penny stocks
@@liewyin3236 Ahhh yes (same goes with pink/OTC stocks i think), i believe its 20?
thanks so much for valuable content, can a foreigner employed in Malaysia can follow the same or not allowed to do so? Thanks in advance
Hey there! Perhaps you can check out this tutorial instead: th-cam.com/video/f__HgJRe3nU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ZietInvests
This is a really helpful video! May I know if I can find using PayPal?
Thanks Mel! Unfortunately you can't fund them with Paypal :x
Bro, what your opinion about coca cola and carrier global corp ?
Never really researched into them eh 😬
Hi, very informative video... I just want to ask. If I were to fund the brokerage, let's say IBKR. Is it ok to fund via WISE or BIGPAY without CIMB Singapore? And why is it better to have CIMB Singapore to fund the broker?
Thanks
Hi Victor, yes ok to fund with Wise but I personally still prefer Wise to CIMB SG first as going through a bank into a broker is always the better choice 😄
@@ZietInvests better choice in terms of fees? Thank you
Can clarify VPN ? What if they ban VPN for Msian , then what other alternative to access broker acc ? Tq
VPN is a private network (like an online subscription) you can pay to access internet from a server from other country, so you can bypass malaysian IP to access those blocked brokers. I don't think they can ban all VPN, there are tons of it out there
Hye ziet, good video once again...can you explore us to hongkong stock...and what are the different purchasing same stock as alibaba in us and hkd...and does interactive brk allow us to purchase from hkd ..thanks
Hi there, I'm not into HK market in the moment hehe, IBKR does allow purchase from HKEX but need to be minimum 1 lot = 100 shares
Great video for anyone looking to start investing in US markets! Now seriously go get some sleep bro 😂
Haha yes sirrrrrr😂 Hard to record with full energy after working on my day job from 9 to 6pm and have to film at 9pm to 12 am 😂
@@ZietInvests appreciate the hustle!
You fork! I'm sorry, I mean rock, you rock!
😂😂😂Hahaha love this!
Hello! It's me again. I have an etoro account in the UK, and I'm thinking to have one etoro account in Malaysia as well (I'll come back to Malaysia eventually). However again, i got stuck in the TIN section. Thanks for your previous reply regarding TIN on Rakuten, but I don't think i can ignore this for etoro?
Or do you think I should use other broker in Malaysia? I mainly invest in S&P 500 and total stock market VTI. Thanks!
Hi MingWei, I would always Interactive Brokers for anyone, from anywhere, unless the license from SC Malaysia is your priority then by all means go for Rakuten Trade instead.
Otherwise, the advantages and features provided by IBKR is miles ahead of other brokers!
@@ZietInvests ok thanks!
informative video like usual!
Thank you so much Sean 🥰 Have a great weekend!
Well done! Good summary. Especially the tax which i recently found out
Cheers to that Ganesh, have a great weekend!🥰
hi ziet, saw your broker comparison video that was posted 9 months ago and you mentioned that interactive brokers had an inactivity fee, but I saw and article ytd that says interactive broker has removed the inactivity fees in July. Just wondering is it true?
Hi there, yes that is true, the inactivity fee was removed in July: th-cam.com/video/fvwoBjGPG8Y/w-d-xo.html
Hope this clarifies!
@@ZietInvests hi Ziet, in your opinion for beginner should go for TradeStation or IB?
@@victorialee8430 Interactive Brokers (IB) for sure!😊 TSG is no longer an attractive option ever since IB removed the inactivity fee last July
@@ZietInvests I would like to thank you that I finally able to open both IBKR & CIMB Sg accounts based on your videos.
Do you still recommend prosperus?
If you are risk averse and not comfortable with IBKR, then you can go for it, else you can wait for local brokers to offer US stock trading (more coming very soon!)
Can you please spoon feed me, what is the most cost effective amount (in usd) to accumulate US stocks thru IBKR? Is it the same fees applies for buying/selling with fractional or whole share?
Hi, the fee structure can be referred here: www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1590&p=stocks2
Yes, the same fee structure applies, with a min 0.35 usd per trade regardless of fraction or whole share for the US market, under the Tiered pricing structure (refer this video on how to switch: th-cam.com/video/f__HgJRe3nU/w-d-xo.html)
I would deposit around min. 1000 SGD at one go, and convert them all in lump sum to minimise the impact from conversion losses.
hai ziet. bagus channel TH-cam bos.. banyak informasi.. saya suka.. saya nak buat strategy scalping stock.. saya cari video bos, tapi tak ada..boleh tak bos buat video cara nak scalping stock.. guna akaun apa? margin atau cash? boleh tak beli dan jual dalam masa 5 minit? broker apa yang sesuai? ada broker kena simpan 2 hari baru boleh sell..saya masih hold untuk fund account.. takut nanti tak boleh buat scalping..
Hi bro, i pun tak buat scalping oh, hanya labur dengan cash. Kalau dengan akaun cash, pasti kena blok PDT ruling, maksudnye tak boleh buy/sell hari yang sama, kena margin account atau penuhi syarat >USD 20k jumlah akaun baru boleh scalping/active trade.
@@ZietInvests TQ bro.. i masuk seminar percuma dato Dr. Nazri Khan (menang saham).. katanya dia main saham gaya scalping.. dalam satu malam boleh buat duit lagi laju daripada gaya swing.. tapi, kelas dia mahal sangat.. 9K lebih untuk belajar sahaja.. belum buat modal lagi..boleh cuba try gaya scalping bro.. lepas tu you buat video.. :)

How does the 40% estate tax works? Seems very high sia
Up to 40% of your US assets will be taxed if they exceed USD 60k, upon your "passing" (i.e. death), before the asset can be inherited by your next of kin
Bro US stocks keep falling now. What shall we do?? Thinking of investing in our local bursa or SG on dividend stocks for time being. Can’t tahan le see my ETFs and US stocks fall so much without reason, due to Fed increasing interest rates and tightening monetary policy.. My Apple stocks and CSPX lost so much value 😩 And Fed's planning to do so for next two years due to inflation in US!! Now just start adi beh tahan liao!! Any video on this topic to console or advise us will be helpful 😢
Hey David - chillax! I have a video coming this Wednesday, I’m sure you will feel so much better when you watched it!
Meanwhile, hold strong, and have faith to weather through the volatility - it’s all part and parcel of investing ☺️💪🏻
Just one question, is broker platform able siphon your money worth million ?
For unregulated/loosely regulated brokers, yes, there is a chance of fraud, refer Halifax Investment Services
Most of the brokers mentioned in this video are highly regulated😊
do you conduct any course?
Hi May, I don’t do that at the moment unfortunately :x Feel free to ask me on Instagram or here if you have any questions!
Can I use Maybank instead of cimb
Can
Hi Ziet, just to double clarify, so does it mean it is tax-free if I'm making capital gain (profiting from price growth), however will be imposed 30% tax if profiting from dividend gain? Thanks for sharing
Hi Ee Hun, that is correct! If AAPL pays you 1 USD of cash dividend, you will only receive 0.70 USD😊
so for interactive brokers i need to pay 10usd monthly if my acc is inactive ?
Hi Louis, no need, they have removed inactivity fee. Can refer this video: th-cam.com/video/_4KJY8MVC5g/w-d-xo.html
@@ZietInvests oic great quality videos love it
Hi.. How about IQ option app, its legit and can be use in malaysia?
I dont like forex/cfd brokers, too risky in my opinion
Hi Ziet, thanks for the video!
May I know the tax that charge 26-40% of US assets above 60k including non dividends stocks?
It should apply to all US domiciled assets - regardless of its nature
The tax is applicable on the ownership transfer of the asset from a deceased individual right?
What about E-trade?
E-trade has stopped allowing new account registration for Non-US residents if im not mistaken
can u explain pre market and closing market? something that i don't understand since bursa don't have this.
Hi JT, thank you for raising this up, I've updated this in the pinned comment - do let me know if it helps!
hey ziet, just to clarify, i think the US estate tax does not apply to stocks, so if i make gains on my stock , i don't have to pay a single cent.
Hi Jason, there was never any capital gains tax on US stocks to begin with.
US estate tax is a separate thing that applies on asset inheritance
@@ZietInvests great thanks !!!! Love your content always
@@drustan6890 most welcome!
Problem with this method is that you lose on 2 FX transactions: MYR to SGD & SGD to USD.
Yes, but the latter is done at market rate, plus you benefit from funding from a financial institution - cleaner record
THanks for the videos!
shit does this mean if Tesla offers dividends, I will need to pay 3-% tax on that? yikes!
Hi Nicholas, yes, if they pay you 1 USD of dividend, you will only receive 70% which is 0.70 USD.
@@ZietInvests Damn....that sucks

Is there any way to buy Malaysian stocks from the US
Uhm...not that I know of, try contacting a local bank (I.e. Maybank Investment Bank) to see if they are able to help non-Malaysian resident or not :)
If I attached an bank account with interactive brokers,
Can I fund to interactive brokers trading account using some other account on my name ,
And can I use only attached account for withdrawal
Hi Prabagaran, you can deposit/withdraw with any of your own bank account, just make sure to register it inside IBKR. No limitation on how many accounts you can use ☺️
@@ZietInvests can you please share your mail I'd , I will share excavt context

Will SC go frenzy and block IBKR tho? Like recently, I hearded they went after Webull.
We never know, they may or may not - so far it has not been put even under the alert list when TD Ameritrade is under the alert list for almost a year, this signals to me it is in the same position as Saxo Bank (they could be the backend for some local brokers, hence why SC choose to not ban them)
Hi, very informative videos! Do you have any idea if it would be a problem if I were to transfer my fund from Malaysia to my German bank account (was a student there before this) for investment purposes? Thanks!
Hi LeeYin, shouldn't be a problem in my opinion, it's a legit transfer from your own account anyway - do check with the german side if there's any implications of moving large sum of money in and out of the country
Thanks Brother....
Most welcome 🥰
Bro webull banned already is it?
They stopped allowing new accounts - can refer pinned comment of my webull video 😊
is there a way to buy US dividend stocks with lower withholding tax? 30% dividend tax just made most of the good companies unattractive...
If individual stocks, unfortunately there are no other options :x
If ETFs, you can opt for Ireland Domiciled ones (15% Dividend WHT).
Hope this helps!
