Hi All
I'm new to the forum, but have been busy reading some of the old threads trying to learn. Given that there doesn't seem to be much (any?) independent fee for service type investment advice in HK, the information sharing here has been really helpful.
I moved to HK four years ago and I'm planning to be here long term. I'm trying to get started on some long term investing (10+ years). I am also keen to get some exposure in USD rather than holding everything in HKD denominated assets.
Given the 30% withholding tax on US dividends and the fact that I don't need passive income now (I'm early 30's and working), I was considering initially focusing on some large cap companies that don't pay dividends, such as Berkshire Hathaway (B shares), Amazon, Alphabet etc.
I was just wondering if others here have pursued a similar strategy or what your thoughts are on investing in dividend paying US stocks given the withholding tax applied on dividends.
Thanks!
