Investing back home from the UK

The short version while our full United Kingdom guide is being written.

Investing from the UK: the five steps

  1. Get your documents ready. Passport, proof of address and the rest.
  2. Choose your exchange. ZiG on the ZSE or US dollars on the VFEX. Compare them.
  3. Open an account with a platform or broker that accepts clients living abroad.
  4. Send GBP home to fund it. Options from the UK: WorldRemit, Wise, Mukuru.
  5. Buy, then track your dividends from your phone.

The FCA regulates how investments are promoted, so we keep this page educational.

Tax on foreign dividends: see HMRC.
