FAQ's and Contact

How do I invest in the U.S. market?

Just create an account on AjmeraCapital.com. We will have your brokerage account created with DriveWealth – our U.S. partner for clearing services. It will take 2 business days for your account to get approved if all your information is correct. Once approved, you will have to fund the account by transferring money into the brokerage account from your bank account.
Once the funds become available in your brokerage account, you will be able to make investments on AjmeraCapital.com. Feel free to use the extensive research and support available on the platform. After selling any of your investments, whenever you want to get your money back, just click on “Withdraw” and all your available cash will be sent over to your domestic bank account.

What are the documents required to transfer money and invest it outside of India?

The following documents are needed:

  • Form A2 along with a declaration form: As per FEMA, these forms are required to declare the sum amount that is to be transferred. Your bank will file this for you within the LRS filings. Ajmera Capital automatically fills this for you – all you need to do is make sure that the information is correct, then download the filled-in form, sign and upload it back for your bank to file.
  • Bank KYC documents: PAN card and your address proof.

What insurance or protection do I get for my account?

U.S. brokerage ecosystem recommends that every investor account should have insurance. DriveWealth is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”), which currently protects the securities and cash in your account up to USD 500,000, of which USD 250,000 may be in cash.

Please note that this USD 500,000 is not applicable to general losses in the stock market. SIPC says the following: SIPC protects against the loss of cash and securities – such as stocks and bonds – held by a customer at a financially-troubled SIPC-member brokerage firm. The limit of SIPC protection is $500,000, which includes a $250,000 limit for cash. A non-U.S. citizen with an account at a brokerage firm that is a member of SIPC is treated the same as a resident or citizen of the United States with an account at a brokerage firm that is a member of SIPC.

SIPC does not protect against the decline in value of your securities. SIPC does not protect individuals who are sold worthless stocks and other securities. SIPC does not protect claims against a broker for bad investment advice, or for recommending inappropriate investments. Explanatory brochure available upon request or at www.sipc.org.

Who is the custodian of my account?

Our U.S. brokerage and clearing partner, DriveWealth, works with Electronic Transaction Clearing Inc. (ETC), New York, for the custody of brokerage accounts.

Where is my U.S. investing account held?

Your investing (brokerage) account is opened with our partner platform, Stockal, and in the U.S., your account is held with the clearing services firm, DriveWealth – regulated by FINRA and SEC. It is a licensed carrying and self-clearing broker offering brokerage services to global investors.

The custody of your account, in turn, would be held by DriveWealth or one of their custodian partners. Let us know if you need more information regarding the custody of your account. You can reach us by raising a ticket.

How much can I invest in U.S. stocks from India?

Currently, you can invest up to USD 250,000 every year in foreign stocks from India. This amount can change, subject to RBI guidelines. So, for now, your investments in U.S. securities are also governed by the same limit.

Foreign investments fall under clearly defined RBI guidelines. The remittance of money for foreign investments comes under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS).

Under the LRS, an Individual can remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year to invest in foreign equities done through an authorized dealer (commonly, your bank). As per RBI policy, having a PAN card is mandatory to purchase shares in foreign countries.
