Is Stake safe and regulated for Australian investors?

Yes, Stake's Australian entity is regulated by ASIC and holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). Your US securities are held through DriveWealth, a SIPC-member US broker-dealer providing up to USD $500,000 protection per account holder.

Can I access LICs, REITs, hybrid securities, and bonds through Stake?

Stake provides access to a range of US-listed securities including LIC equivalents, REITs, bond ETFs, and hybrid instruments, allowing Australian investors to build diversified portfolios.

Can I use Stake within my self-managed super fund (SMSF)?

Some SMSF trustees hold international equities through Stake, but this requires careful documentation and compliance with ATO reporting obligations. Consulting a qualified SMSF adviser is strongly recommended.

How does Stake handle taxes for Australian residents?

Stake provides annual tax statements. US dividends are subject to 15% withholding tax under the Australia-US tax treaty, claimable as a foreign tax credit on your Australian tax return.

What is the minimum investment amount on Stake?

There is no minimum account balance. Fractional shares allow you to invest as little as $10 AUD in a single stock or ETF.
