Hello everyone,
I am trying to establish a personal investment strategy where I put 20-25% of my income into SBI's 新NISA every month for a long term investment until I max out my cap in the future. I will probably focus on SP500 or VOO (Index Fund).
I want to have another branch of investment where I would like to play around with 数万円 for a shorter term investment. For example, invest in smaller US companies that catch my eyes for couple months, choose a couple and diversify, once I get some profit (hopefully?), I sell a bit and move on to another opportunity. I know this has risks but I want to study on my own and experience personal investing – therefore I am only thinking of doing it with couple 万円 that I would be okay to lose.
I have been using Fidelity in US but since I left the States and I am a Non-Resident Alien in US, I think it is better for me to just use Japanese platform since I am here. Also, I heard that having a healthy record of personal investment would be a good qualification when you are applying for PR as well (of course, you need income that can cover those investments as well)
Based on my search, I have found IBKR and moomoo being the top two options for me. However, since I already have SBI NISA account, I wonder if I should trade the shorter term investment with another SBI account? Not sure if being in the same environment as NISA account would give me any benefit tbh.
When it comes to choosing the platform, I am more interested in clean UI design. Doesn't need to be as simple as Robinhood but something that I don't need to spend hours trying to figure out how to buy a stock. However, any advice outside of the design of the app is completely fine. I am just a beginner so please feel free to give me any constructive advice!
Thank you.
