Hi guys!
Does anyone have any advice on a good broker for investing overseas?
I'm looking at investing a little in the U.S. and possibly moving onto
India/China later on?
Thanks a lot,
Steve

Why not do it through UK based Investment or Unit trusts ?

(although personally I would put the priorities the other way around as I
suspect the dollar has much further to fall - But I might be totally wrong).

From the look of it, you're absolutely right about the exchange rate on
the dollar. On the funds thing, though, I know they can be a great way of
investing but personally I tend towards individually selected shares. So,
do you know of any brokers who give you access to markets outside of
London?
Thanks,
Steve

In the end, I came across an article listing some recommendations for
stockbrokers who offer overseas shares:

Thanks anyway,

I suspect that the pound may fall further than the dolar, but slower :-)

I'd be interested to know if you can invest directly in India, I've heard
you have to go through some weird foreign owenership structures.

I'll let you know if I find anything but the best foreign dealing services
I've found so far still only offer a limited selection of countries. None
that I've found allow you to trade in India and the closest I can get to
China is Hong Kong, which may be good enough anyway.
Cheers,
Steve
