Invest in stocks and shares

The stock market is where most investors, directly or indirectly, look for capital accumulation. Over the long term, global stock markets exceed all other asset classes for their annualised returns, although the market experiences regular fluctuations in the short and medium terms. Owning fractional shares of companies allows investors to share in their business success, and ADSS stock investors can access a wide range of stocks from a secure UAE brokerage account.

ADSS offers clients CFD trading, in equities, forex, bonds, commodities, cryptos, and more, and direct stock investment. We aim to deliver excellent trading and investment opportunities to clients with an outstanding level of service.

Learn more about stock trading

Informed investors are good investors. We offer educational courses, market updates, and a full financial glossary to help new and experienced traders understand the complex world of financial markets. Learn about key investment concepts including risk management, correlation, and the key drivers of stock prices on our dedicated education section.

A global financial market

ADSS stock investors access American shares. The total market capitalisation – the outstanding market value of all shares – of the combined world stock market is close to $130 trillion, with around $55 trillion of that figure estimated for the US market alone. Stock investors buy and hold the shares of companies for longer timeframes than stock traders, who enter and exit short-term positions. You can find out more about stock CFD trading over on our dedicated market page. Investors need to understand that markets can go down as well as up, and no investment offers a guaranteed return or even the guarantee of your capital being returned.

 

Understanding Pattern Day Trading (PDT)

If you trade stocks frequently, it’s crucial to understand pattern day trading (PDT) rules. Under FINRA regulations, executing four or more day trades in five business days—where trades exceed 6% of total activity—means you may be classified as a PDT. This status requires maintaining at least $25,000 in a margin account to allow you to trade as many times in a day as you’d like. Breaching limits can trigger margin calls and trading restrictions. PDTs cannot trade in cash accounts, and firms may designate you based on your trading history. Given the risks, day trading isn’t suitable for those with limited funds, experience, or low risk tolerance. For more info on FINRA click here.

FAQs

What is fractional ownership, and how can I include it in my investment strategy?

Fractional ownership allows you to invest in high-cost equities by purchasing portions of shares rather than whole shares. This enables you to diversify your portfolio across premium companies like Tesla, NVIDIA, and Apple without significant capital. It’s an excellent way to access global stock markets and build a diversified portfolio, even with a smaller budget.

Why should I consider US equities as part of my long-term investing plan?

US equities represent a significant portion of the global financial market, with an estimated market capitalisation of around $55 trillion. Investing in US equities through a UAE-regulated broker like ADSS allows you to tap into some of the world’s largest and most innovative companies. Over the long term, global stock markets, particularly the US market, have historically delivered strong annualised returns, making them a key component of a diversified investment strategy. Remember, stock prices can always go up as well as down, and you may not recover the capital originally invested.

How can I practice stock investing without risking my capital?

ADSS offers a demo trading account, which allows you to practice stock investing and explore global stock markets without any financial risk. This is an ideal way for first-time investors to learn about risk management, understand market fluctuations, and gain confidence before committing real capital. It’s also a valuable tool for experienced investors to test new strategies or familiarise themselves with our award-winning platform.

Investing in stocks carries risks, including the potential loss of capital. The value of your investments can fluctuate, and you may risk losing the entire amount invested. Market conditions, economic factors, and company performance can all impact stock prices. You should ensure you understand the risks involved in stock investing and consider seeking independent financial advice if necessary.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
