1.4 THE PRODUCT- NSE IFSC RECEIPTS – US STOCK Investment and Trading
Now Indian Residents under LRS (Liberalized Scheme of RBI) can invest in US Stocks through NSE IFSC Receipt. NSE IFSC Receipts represents a fraction of an underlying share, making it affordable for the investor to participate. The receipts are issued and traded in US dollars, and any amount paid by the NSE IFSC Receipts Custodian in connection with the receipts will be paid in US dollars. The receipts are not sponsored by the underlying companies. They are unsponsored, meaning the receipts are created without the involvement, participation, or consent of such US-listed companies or of the US exchanges on which such underlying securities are listed.
The receipts give the holder a proportionate beneficial interest in the underlying security itself. Their issuance is based on the underlying share to IFSC Receipt ratio as defined by the NSE IFSC from time to time. For instance, one Amazon share that costs about $2900 is converted into 200 IFSC receipts worth about $15 each.
Now ARIVPL can on board business partners who can refer their HNI / UHNI clients to the company for facilitating US Stock investment and Trading.
