Selling US stocks and keeping the cash in $ to reinvest


Rima

Question

Can anyone guide me? I have invested in some US stocks using GBP to buy them in USD. Is there a way I can sell my stocks and keep the proceeds in USD first so I don’t lose on the exchange rate and second so I can reinvest in different US stocks? Thanks!

If you have a Share dealing account you can change the conversion to manual which means we will not convert the funds for you. This can be done on the my IG page by selecting Currency conversion.

If you want this for a leveraged account please reach out to us so we can speak with you over the phone. 

All the best

Hi CharlotteIG,  I recently found that my Currency conversion setting was set to Manual. However, on recent U.S share sales, the value of these sales went straight into GBP (My share dealings acc is GBP default), while I paid the $15 per share trade cost under the Manual setting instead?

Any help would be appreciated

Best wishes

Jack

    • Stumbled onto $weETH recently, and it’s got me thinking. It’s more than just staking ETH for rewards weETH also restakes automatically in EigenLayer, so you’re maximizing yield without extra effort. What really caught my eye, though, is how they’ve designed it to keep everything in your control with non-custodial staking.  Add in some perks like loyalty points and compatibility with DeFi protocols on Arbitrum and Polygon, and it’s set up to go beyond the usual staking.  Anyone else looking at $weETH? Worth it, or just another token in the mix?
    • In a strategic move to further solidify its position in the global cryptocurrency market, Bitget, a leading CEX, has made a significant move by appointing Min Lin as its new Chief Business Officer. With a history of leadership at Binance and Goldman Sachs, Lin brings over a decade of expertise to Bitget's ambitious expansion in Latin America. His unique blend of traditional finance and blockchain experience positions him to navigate the complex market dynamics in the region.  Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, believes Lin’s expertise is crucial for their strategic vision. “Min’s track record in scaling cryptocurrency businesses aligns seamlessly with our growth goals,” says Chen. In his new role, Lin emphasizes his commitment to innovation and user-focused products. He aims to promote wider acceptance of blockchain technology while tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of Latin American users. This move underscores Bitget’s commitment to emerging markets. With a 98% increase in active users in Latin America in 2024, the potential for growth is evident. The question remains: how will this move influence the competitive landscape in Latin America?
    • Exchange tokens are a good alternative investment. Unlike regular coins, they provide access to exclusive privileges, including: -Deduction of trading fees, whether in spot or futures trading -Participation in airdrop campaigns, such as Launchpool, Launchpad, PoolX, and others The benefits of holding an exchange token cannot be overstated, yet many users are still unaware of these advantages.  I currently hold some MX, BGB, BNB, and KCS in my portfolio, though I initially knew little about the privileges associated with them. After joining this Bitget online community, I was able to connect with other BGB holders, interact with them, and discover a lot more. The minimum requirement is 100 BGB to gain access to the community, and there's an ongoing campaign with a range of merchandise giveaways. We could take advantage of this campaign as we’re now in Moonvember if you’re holding more than the minimum required amount. I’m not a financial advisor, so always DYOR.
