Any advantage of Charles Schwab International Account over IBSJ?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to get perspectives from US citizens / Green Card holders living in Japan on how you handle your brokerage accounts.
My situation:
- Japanese citizen
- Currently a US green card holder
- Moving back to Japan soon for work
- I will likely give up my green card in the future once I feel settled in Japan
- Determining where to keep the sizable position of VT
Option A: Converting my current Charles Schwab account to International account
Option B: Open a IBKR US account and transfer to an IBSJ account
I mostly think of keeping the VT position to keep funding my US credit cards (points!) over years, by dividends and selling the position overtime.
It feels IBSJ might be more straight forward and send the money via Wire Transfer to my US checking account, but I'm doing a very niche comparison, so I'd like to hear what others may think.
Thanks in advance!
