- Buying Korean shares from Australia — IBKR vs bank brokers, and tax
You can invest in Korean shares while living in Australia. Bank broking is convenient but limited for Korean stocks, so many Korean-Australians use a global broker like IBKR. What matters isn't the stock pick — it's the FX cost and the tax in both countries. You only see your real return once you account for Australian worldwide-income reporting.
