Which brokerage company is good for mainland investors to open accounts in US stocks?

Which brokerage company is better for mainland investors to open accounts in US stocks? We mainly compare the complexity of opening an account and the handling fee rate:

1. Aide Securities is a Hong Kong-US stock with a wide range of transactions, providing investment products such as Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, foreign exchange and futures. Opening an account can be done directly through Aide Financial app. To open an account, you need to register online first, which takes about 15 minutes. Need to fill in account information, user information, investment information, etc. , and then wait for the account review, which will take about 1-2 working days. The commission of Ed securities in American stock market is 0.8% of the transaction amount.

2. Investors can also buy and sell American stocks through financial institutions in Hong Kong, such as CMB International, Shen Yin Wanguo, Guotai Junan and haitong international.

Take Guotai Junan as an example. US stock trading is mainly through the re-entrustment of Hong Kong subsidiaries or Hong Kong securities firms. The so-called "sub-entrustment" means that you place an order with this Hong Kong brokerage firm (or a Hong Kong subsidiary of a mainland brokerage firm), and then this brokerage firm transfers to another brokerage firm that it has signed a cooperation with in the United States. This is basically the mode for major domestic securities firms to trade US stocks. The biggest advantage of re-entrustment is that you can usually buy and sell stocks from more than a dozen countries instead of a single one, but the disadvantage is that you can't accurately control the trading time, and the commission charged by China brokers in Hong Kong is much higher than that of local brokers in the United States, and the commission for each transaction is about $20.

After comparison, I suggest that mainland investors open accounts through online Hong Kong and US stock brokers such as Aide Securities, which can save a lot of time and cost, and the service and software experience are good.
