Hello everyone,
NISA have been available with IBKR (aka IBJP here) since last September and I am considering to transfer my NISA there.
I am currently with Rakuten securities. Although their range of stocks and mutual funds eligible to NISA is very comfortable, I find the user experience terrible. When I started it took me several days to understand how to buy stocks. And this goes beyond a language barrier problem, it is just a horrible UI. Not to mention the exhausting login system : opening your emails to find out you have to click on the crab and the train, then, later, having to make a phone call… Oh and I forgot the phone app (iSPEED or smthg) which I still do not understand what action can actually be performed in it…
Anyway, this is off-topic, let's go back to IBKR. I already have a classical taxable account with them. But I have not been able to find any sensible information about their NISA offer. I guess the only way to find out is to open IBKR NISA and start using it. So I would like to ask the following questions to those who did:
- How large is the range of eligible NISA mutual funds and stocks in IBKR? Is it comparable to the Rakuten's offer ?
- Is the user experience of buying stocks (not mutual funds) in IBKR NISA the same as with regular IBKR ? For example, can you still do simple things like setting a limit order ? When you buy a stock (again within the IBKR NISA), is the transaction instant, so that you actually buy it at the current price? These things, afaik, you cannot do with Rakuten (I do not know how to set up a limit order there, and, even with stocks, there is a delay of several days between the buy order and the transaction.)
In advance, thank you for your help.
