I’ve decided to invest all of my yen savings since the yen seems to be weakening and the global stock market is entering a bull phase.
Now, I have two options:
- Use a Japanese broker with NISA, which allows me to avoid taxes. However, Japanese brokers tend to be slow — for example, Rakuten can take up to three days to execute an order, and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing.
- Use Interactive Brokers (U.S.), which offers faster and more direct access to U.S. markets. But transferring funds by wire comes with significant fees, and I’d rather not waste money on those.
What’s the most efficient way to invest in U.S. stocks from Japan?
