Want To Buy International Shares?

I’m sure from the above list you would have noticed that all the companies listed are South African. Unfortunately, the JSE doesn’t list international companies so If you would like to trade international shares like Amazon and Google, etc, then you’ll have to find a broker that has ties to overseas markets.

Luckily, I’ve already figured out a workaround that I discuss in this article that will show you step-by-step how you can buy and own American shares in South Africa. If you would like to get your hands on international shares then make sure you check it out.
