Interactive Brokers Japan: Growth NISA: US ETFs Eligibility

Of the ~400 US ETFs offered in general accounts, I checked through them all, and have found that IB Japan allows the following 8 US ETFs in Growth NISA:

  • GLD
  • QQQ
  • SPY
  • SPYD
  • VOO
  • VT
  • VTI
  • VXUS

The vast majority of them are rejected with the following message:

No Trading Permission, Customer Ineligible; Ineligibility reasons: No Opening Trades: This Security is Not Allowed in a GNISA (Japan) Account.

Some very few of them have ineligibility reasons of "No Opening Trades: This security is not available to IBJP accounts" or "Restricted". And three interesting cross-listed ETFs (1326, 1557, 2840) produce an error that their clearance is not supported.

I have also updated the wiki page.
