The CMC Invest Trading Account could be a good option for Australian investors looking to access global markets. The platform offers zero-brokerage fees for a few major international markets, making it particularly attractive for frequent traders and those building diversified global portfolios.
What makes this account especially practical for Australian investors is its extended US market trading hours, allowing trades during more convenient Australian time zones. Instead of staying up until midnight, you can trade US stocks during early evening hours in Australia. While there's a 0.60% FX spread to consider, the absence of brokerage fees often makes it more cost effective than traditional bank-backed brokers.
You’ll also get integration of professional-grade tools like Morningstar analysis, TradingView charting, and ESG ratings that can provide a rounded view of share options that caters to both novice and experienced investors. The ability to start with just a single share on select US stocks also makes it a good entry point for those new to international investing.
