You! Yes You! Want a Slice of the American Dream (Without Leaving Your PJs)?
Ever dreamt of owning a piece of Apple (besides the one you munch on) or maybe chilling with some Netflix (as a shareholder, that is)? Well, my friend, investing in US stocks might be your golden ticket. But how, you ask? How do you, a regular degular Indian investor, navigate the exciting yet slightly intimidating world of US stocks?

| How To Buy Us Stocks On Groww |
Step 1: Gearing Up for Greatness (A.k.a. Opening Your US Stock Account)
Think of this as your knighting ceremony. You, the eager squire, are about to become a full-fledged US stock investor. Here's what you'll need:
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
- Your Groww account: Obvious, right? But hey, you gotta have a launchpad before you blast off into the investing stratosphere.
- PAN Card and Address Proof: These are your trusty sidekicks, proving you're a real person (and a responsible one at that).
- A Bank Account with International Transaction Capabilities: Because let's face it, you can't buy American stocks with rupees (unless you find a really enthusiastic money changer).
Bonus points if you have a basic understanding of the US stock market and have done some research on the companies you want to invest in. Don't go in blindfolded, my friend!
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Step 2: Funding Your Mission (A.k.a Adding Moolah to Your Account)
Imagine your US stock account is a spaceship. You can't very well explore the investing galaxy without some fuel, can you? Here's how to load it up:
Tip: Write down what you learned.
- Log in to your Groww account.
- Find the US Stocks section (it shouldn't be hiding in a dark corner).
- Look for the glorious "Fund" button. This is your launchpad to financial freedom (well, maybe not freedom, but baby steps!).
- Follow the on-screen instructions. It's like baking a cake, but instead of flour and sugar, you're using cold hard cash (or its digital equivalent).
Remember: This transfers money to your USD balance within Groww.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.

Step 3: Setting Your Phaser to "Buy" (A.k.a. Actually Buying Stocks)
Now comes the fun part: picking your US stock champions!
- Browse through the available US stocks on Groww. Think of it like a virtual candy store, but instead of cavities, you get potential returns (with some risks on the side, but hey, that's the investing game!).
- Do your due diligence. Don't just blindly pick the company with the coolest logo (although, that can be a tempting strategy). Research the company's performance, future prospects, and any relevant financial jargon (adulting, right?).
- Once you've chosen your champion, decide how much you want to invest. You can even buy fractional shares with Groww, because who says you can't own a tiny slice of Amazon?
- Select your order type (market or limit) and hit that glorious "Buy" button. Congratulations, you are now a part-owner of a US company! High five yourself (or your pet goldfish, no judgement here).
Pro Tip: Groww offers fractional shares, so you don't need a fortune to start investing. Baby steps lead to giant leaps, my friend!
And There You Have It! You're Now a US Stock Investor (Cue celebratory music!)
Remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Be patient, stay informed, and don't forget to enjoy the ride. And hey, if things go south (which hopefully they won't!), at least you'll have some interesting stories to tell your grandkids (or your pet goldfish, if they're good listeners).
