Conclusion | HDFC is a good choice for NRIs to trade and invest in stocks, mutual funds and other investment products in India. Barring NRIs from the USA and Canada, it offers a convenient way to invest online. HDFC is a full-service broker offering services like RM, NRI support desk, free research, and tips, etc., to help NRIs take informed trading decisions. It also offers loan against securities held in the demat accounts. The GTC and AMO order helps NRIs in placing orders as per their convenience. | Composite Edge offers a 2-in-1 account for NRIs to trade and invest across equity, mutual fund, IPO, bonds, and PMS. The brokerage charges are higher than other discount brokers. It doesn't have its own trading platforms and so is depended on the platform owners for up-gradation and resolving technical issues. Overall, there's not a single key offering or market differentiator from the stock broker to attract NRIs. There are better choices available in the market. |
