What documents do I need to start trading US stocks on the NYSE?

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is one of the world’s largest marketplaces for securities and other exchange-traded investments.

The NYSE uses an auction-based system in which brokers auction shares of stock for the highest price they can get, either on a physical trading floor or an electronic system.

To trade US stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), corporate and trust accounts are required to be registered on the NYSE website in addition to submitting the W-8BEN E form. This can be done by completing and submitting an NYSE form, followed by a 3rd Party Billing Addendum. Please ensure that you complete both forms to successfully trade shares on the NYSE.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You do not own or have any interest in the underlying asset. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Please consider the Margin Trading Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Risk Disclosure Notice and Target Market Determination before entering into any CFD transaction with us.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through an IG share trading account can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
