No. Jitta is a stock information site, broadly similar to something like Morningstar. As for brokers, this has been asked multiple times in the last few months. I suggest you search. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 All of the majore banks have brokerage capabilities. Makes things easier to fund if she already has a savings account at one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is only 16 but it would be easy to set up.. do the brokerage accounts allow her to invest in US etf funds etc... is it like a Schwab account where we can work it together on line? I did try a search but got nowhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure That looks like it will be fine... I saw something about a fund w/msft, appl, etc... any mutual type fund investing in US securities will do the trick.. I use Kasikorn here as I find them fastest and most reliable for money transfers from USA... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means any investment income will be subject to US withholding tax at either 15% or 30%. She would be far better off investing in equivalent ETFs listed in, say London or Frankfurt. You state "mutual type fund". She will not have access to US mutual funds. She could, of course, invest in Thai mutual funds which invest in the US, and could do this conveniently and easily at her local bank branch. For example https://www.krungsriasset.com/EN/FundDetail.aspx?fund=KF-US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for Thai based investment vehicles for her.. Thanks, will check out this fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You appear to have missed my point, which is about taxation of US investments owned by non-resident aliens - not about opening an account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
