10k in US share

[EvanWatson]

What is the cheapest way to invest 10k sterling in a US (NYSE) traded company?

Hargreaves Lansdown SIPP - the govt add £2.5k turning it into £12.5k.
Then buy the stock.
Then depending on your marginal rate of tax you claim back up to another £3k or so.

So you get £12.5k of the stock for £7k.

True in that it's the cheapest way, providing you want to tie the money in till you retire.

Assuming your bank do Stockbroking probably easiest though them. You may need to fill out a form for US shares first, the name & number escapes me.

Try http://www.tddirectinvesting.co.uk/

The form is a W-8BEN tax document but your stockbroker will send that to you.
