Hope people are still considering international equities for investment.
I recently opened an account with Danish broker Saxobank. They allow investing in all developed market equities.
I am living in the UAE and have a USD account here. The process was quite straightforward for me and it took just 3 days to get the account open.
I am considering investing in US equities, as a diversification from Indian equities and Indian Rupee. Although, I do not intend to have more than 25-35% of my portfolio in US.
