To invest in Shares and ETFs using Kernel, you'll just need your own individual account. Getting set up is pretty straightforward, you simply need to:
Be a New Zealand resident for tax purposes.
Not be considered a "US person" (this typically relates to US citizenship or residency status).
Be 18 years of age or older.
Be able to complete our quick and easy online identity check.
Just a friendly heads-up: Accounts for kids, joint holders, trusts, or companies aren't able to join Shares and ETFs. Kernel's US broker partner is unable to support these account types.
