@Chief VVS & Other Wazuarian,
When you want to invest overseas as a non resident retail investor,
the most important factor to consider is the size ie capital base of the broking firm. First CAL bank (listed in GSE) is one of the smallest banks in Ghana. Ibrokers, their stock broking arm is one of the smallest (though efficient).
If you take a look at stockbroking firms in ghana (www.gse.com.gh) you will see bigger stock broking firms that are subsidiaries of big banks like Ecobank etc. Safety of your funds is very important.
I do no pray for bad thing to happen neither am I accusing Ibrokers. but the unfortunate incidence of
small but efficient Kenya Discount brokers are still fresh in our memories. Imagine the fate of those that are non resident investors who invested through discount stockbrokers kenya.
Be aware too that Ibrokers online account is more of a nominee account, the shares they help you buy are kept in their name.
It is worth while to think outside the box (east Africa)
