SMC Global Vs Alice Blue - NRI Account Advantages and Disadvantages

  SMC Global Alice Blue

  • NRIs can trade and invest through mobile, software and web browser

  • Good Till Date/Time (GTD) and Good Till Cancelled (GTC) orders are not available.
  • Alice Blue does not offer NRI trading and demat account.
Conclusion

SMC comes across as a good choice for NRI investors who are looking for a company that offers a wide range of financial products under one roof and investment recommendations. The broker offers a good online trading platform. It also provides wealth management services to NRIs. It has a corporate office in Dubai which makes it easy for NRIs residing in the city to avail various services through branch visits. The brokerage charges of SMC Global are high in comparison to discount stock brokers.

Alice Blue, the Bangalore based financial service provider, doesn't offer services to NRI customer. If you are an NRI and looking for an online discount broker for investing in India, you should consider Zerodha or ProStocks.

If you recently become an NRI and have a resident account with Alice Blue, you have to close it and open a new account with another broker who offers NRI services.
